How do Chick-fil-A prices at Cedar Point compare to those outside the park?

On a recent trip down south, the CPFB stopped in Perry, Georgia, to visit a local Chick-fil-A store. Georgia is the headquarters of Chick-fil-A, meaning the area is prime country for droves of fans. The crowded parking lot and store indicated that Chick-fil-A has a loyal following down south, and a brief discussion with the manager confirmed the fan base.

Note, the Cedar Point Chick-fil-A has a limited menu compared to stores outside of the park. In addition, prices at the Perry location may not be indicative of prices at other locations around the country. The comparison of prices may vary by location.

The information below is formatted to show the Cedar Point prices first, followed by their cost outside the park.
