Chick-fil-A-Franchise Information

In 1946, Chick-fil-A's founder, Truett Cathy, opened his first restaurant, a small restaurant called the Dwarf Grill, in Hapeville, Georgia, just south of the Atlanta Airport. Years later, in 1967, after inventing and perfecting his Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, Truett became a pioneer in the quick service restaurant industry by opening his first - and the first of its kind - Chick-fil-A Restaurant in a shopping mall. Since then, the Chick-fil-A system has experienced more than 48 years of positive sales growth and has expanded to more than 2,000 locations in the 43 states and the District of Columbia.
