Company Information
Chick-fil-A is in the business of serving our Guests great food and remarkable service. Family-owned and privately held, our company and our local independent franchised Operators are devoted to serving the local communities in which we operate, while offering great-tasting food made with quality ingredients including our signature Chick-fil-A sandwich.
 
Today, Chick-fil-A restaurants serve great tasting food to millions of Guests every year, in more than 3,000 restaurants in 48 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Canada. Chick-fil-A opened its first Canadian restaurant in 2019. Chick-fil-A was officially founded in 1967 by S. Truett Cathy. He made the decision to close on Sundays in 1946 when he opened his first restaurant in Hapeville, Georgia. Having worked seven days a week in restaurants open 24 hours, Truett saw the importance of closing on Sundays so that he and his employees could set aside one day to rest and worship if they choose — a practice we uphold today.
