About Us

Home of the Original Chicken Sandwich! It is our pleasure to serve you! “We should be about more than just selling chicken. We should be a part of our customers’ lives and the communities in which we serve.”Truett Cathy
1921-2014
Chick-fil-A, Inc., Founder S. Truett Cathy died Sept. 8, 2014, at age 93. Cathy started the business in 1946, when he and his brother, Ben, opened an Atlanta diner known as The Dwarf Grill (later renamed The Dwarf House®). Through the years, that restaurant prospered and led Cathy to further the success of his business. In 1967, Cathy founded and opened the first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Atlanta's Greenbriar Shopping Center. Today, Chick-fil-A has the highest same-store sales and is the largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain in the United States based on annual system-wide sales.
Cathy was the author of six books and was a committed philanthropist dedicated to making a difference in the lives of youth. He was the recipient of countless awards over the years, both for his business acumen and for his charity. With his wife of 65 years, Jeannette McNeil Cathy, he led a life that was centered on biblical principles and family, and is survived by his sons Dan T. and Don ''Bubba'' Cathy; daughter Trudy Cathy White; 12 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. We continue to carry on Truett's Legacy everyday, in every restaurant, in every community, stop in, let's meet, share conversation and good food, for it is our pleasure.
