There's nothing like showing your support for a business by wearing its name wherever you go. There's a lot of money to be made through merchandise in the food industry and Chick-fil-A is one of the many fast foods chains that offer merchandise collections for its consumers.
So you might be wondering what fast food restaurants sell branded merchandise. Here are some of the fast food chains that have sold merchandise to build brand excitement.
The number of fast food and other restaurants that have sold merchandise may surprise you. The products are often provided via limited-edition online shops, and once supplies sell out, the company may not make more. Some of the merch shops listed are no longer available, but those that are might be a fun way to bring your love of a restaurant to your everyday life.
1. Chick-fil-A has just dropped a new line of merchandise.
While you might have been hoping for t-shirts featuring cows saying the chicken restaurant's iconic "Eat More Chikin" phrase, Chick-fil-A's new line of merchandise takes a different approach. The company is highlighting its signature sauces with the new line of limited-edition apparel.
Check out the new line of exclusive Chick-fil-A merchandise at shop.chick-fil-a.com and you'll find a wide range of products that draw attention to specific types of sauces. The company is selling shoes, water bottles, shirts, tote bags, socks, hats, and keychains, all in colors representing different sauce flavors.
Items range in price from $6 (the Sauce Enamel Pin) to $80 (Dipped Kicks sneakers). You might also opt for a water bottle for $25, tote bag for $45, Sauce Drip Watch for $60, or socks for $14.
2. Taco Bell is another fast food restaurant that sells merchandise.
Fans can buy Taco Bell branded merchandise like blankets, pens, and onesies for adults.

Accessories include hats, pins and patches, and office supplies.
3. IHOP sells pancake-themed merchandise.
