About

Chick-fil-A is one of the largest American fast food chain restaurants and the largest restaurant company whose specialty is chicken sandwiches. The restaurant’s other chicken entrees are also very popular among its clientele. Chick-fil-A was originally founded in 1946 as the “Dwarf Grill”, later changing it’s brand name to “Dwarf House” until ultimately rebranding as Chick-fil-A in the late 1960s. The company operates 2,400+ restaurants, primarily in the US with locations distributed across 48 states. The restaurant offers breakfast items in the mornings, and then switches over to its lunch and dinner menu around noon. Chick-fil-A also provides catering services with special bulk item food pricing. The company’s core values were deeply influenced by the Christian beliefs of its late founder, S. Truett Cathy, who was known to be a committed Southern Baptist. As an example reflecting these values, Chick-fil-A restaurants are all closed on Sundays, and for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. The company’s financial support of charitable organizations opposed to same-sex marriage has been the subject of public controversy, but the company recently announced in 2019 that it would only focus philanthropic activities around organizations devoted to issues involving education, hunger and homelessness.
