About Chick-fil-A

While Chick-fil-A was formally created in 1962, its roots are traced back to 1946 when the founder and former CEO S. Truett Cathy started the Dwarf Grill. However, fifteen years later, and thanks to a pressure fryer, Cathy established Chick-fil-A, and the rest is history. They started with the chicken sandwich which became an instant phenomenon in Atlanta. By 1967, the sandwich had been licensed in more than fifty restaurants across the United States of America but they were swiftly withdrawn when the firm opened its own location.

Since then, the company has expanded rapidly, and as of 2023, it operates over 3000 sites across North America, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. Furthermore, the firm said in 2023 that it plans to grow into Europe and Asia, as well as five other worldwide markets, by 2030. The company is still valued at more than USD 6 billion, with revenues of $11.3 billion in the United States alone in 2019.
