Chick-fil-A, Inc. is a renowned fast-food restaurant chain with a rich history rooted in strong values and a commitment to exceptional service. Founded by S. Truett Cathy in 1946 with his first restaurant, The Dwarf Grill (later The Dwarf House), the company officially became Chick-fil-A in 1967 in Atlanta. Its corporate purpose is "To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A."

The company is celebrated for its signature chicken sandwiches and its distinctive approach to hospitality, famously encapsulated by the phrase "my pleasure." A long-standing tradition, initiated by Truett Cathy, is the decision to close all restaurants on Sundays, allowing Team Members a day for rest and worship. Chick-fil-A emphasizes quality food, striving to serve freshly prepared items while continuously innovating its menu and restaurant designs, including being the first quick-service restaurant to introduce parent-friendly menus.

Chick-fil-A operates on a unique model of investing in local Owner-Operators, who are small business owners actively involved in their communities. The company is deeply committed to caring for its Team Members through scholarship programs, leadership development, and well-being benefits. Furthermore, Chick-fil-A makes a significant community impact through initiatives like the Shared Table program, which donates surplus food to fight hunger, and by contributing to hunger relief efforts with every new restaurant opening.

Still a family business, with Truett's grandson Andrew serving as CEO, Chick-fil-A maintains its dedication to service and quality as it continues to grow, with locations across 48 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Singapore. The company offers various dining options including sit-down, counter, drive-thru service, mobile ordering, and delivery, ensuring convenience for its guests.
