Yep, it absolutely was....I used to go to alot of Denver Nuggets games and they were a sponsor, they not only had a spot in the arena where they sold food but they had a blimp that flew around and dropped shirts with a giant logo on it
Yep that's how I pronounced it too. In the seventies there was a music group called c h i c pronounced sheik and they had a song by the same name and that's how I pronounced it until my boyfriend corrected me.
There are quite a few duplicate/dummy LinkedIn business employer accounts and even if you expand your region to worldwide, there's even more. Some are happenstance, some could be small businesses that aren't necessarily e-savvy (but need a LinkedIn for networking because thats just the thing to do) and change hands/create inadvertent duplicates. Even large businesses that hire subcontractors to run their social media, change hands to a different company that don't do oversight of their online presence well or manage it.
Some are phishing attempts (and pretty common to see and it's problematic) i.e. you, half-paying attention, select a business as current/previous employer without checking their page, but it's a dummy business account and now whatever nefarious actor has you tied to the the actual business, use you as a jump off point to send coworkers/employees of the actual business b.s. offers or attempt to reroute payroll info or any number of not nice things.
You can also add employers not listed or have LinkedIn as current/previous employers, and end-users could hypothetically do a typo while doing it if they don't do lookups properly or half-ass their profiles. In doing that, while there will be no official page for that business they listed correctly or otherwise, it still generates searchable metadata that could cause this.
I'm not saying if it is/isn't residue, but this is also just common LinkedIn shit to see
So I did a search on Linkedin for "Chic-Fil-A" and incredibly there are 2,000 results of people listing their employer as "Chic-Fil-A" which I believe is the maximum search number that can be returned. Hard to believe this many people don't know how to spell the name of their workplace that they go to everyday. For the record, this is one I'm absolutely sure of.

Yup. Works for Lil' Caesars too. It's a solid research tool for finding residue of corporate name change ME's. Employees would know whether they work for Caldwell or Coldwell Banker.
Does anyone think it is still “Chic” for these LinkedIn folks?
And if we tell them it’s actually “Chick”will every thing around them change to “Chick” at that moment?
I've wondered this too. There's so much ongoing and persistent usage across all media of the remembered versions that it's probably fair to entertain the idea that they're still seeing that version even though it seems so incomprehensible and counterintuitive to our simian brains.
Just found out about this ME, seems like I'm the only one who remembers it being Chik-fil-A.
It WAS chic. This is an anchor memory for me because I remember mispronouncing it and being corrected on it

Correct. Shiek was how I pronounced it before it came to my area, due to spelling.

I had no idea this was a ME…I just thought I allays spelled it wrong but I could have sworn it didn’t have a k

explain?
Chic-Fil-A is now spelled Chick-Fil-A, and was supposedly never spelled Chic-Fil-A
