Jim Furman, CEO of Tarheel Capital, is one of Wendy's biggest franchise owners (he has 86 locations), and he's making his support for Chick-fil-A known.

This morning, several of his Wendy's locations in North Carolina put up signs that read, "We stand with Chick-fil-A," reports the L.A. Times.

At least one of his South Carolina restaurants did the same, according to WBTV 3.

The signs were taken down a few hours after they went up.

1. Why did the signs come down ?

were they losing business or something ?

10. Too late.

Wendy's is now on my list.

9. I don't think that most other chains want to insert themselves into the "Culture Wars"

Given what's happened to ChickFilA's brand reputation in the last week or so.

11. Or you could just skip all the fast food places and fry up your own chicken sandwich.

That's what I do. Although I use a healthier oil such as Canola.
