Chick Fil A Gift Card

The Chick-fil-A* Story

Like any good story, this one as humble beginnings.

A long time ago, 1946 to be exact, Truett Cathy opened a diner in Atlanta called the Dwarf Grill.  The place was small, so the name fit.  But Truett was an innovative businessman who served great food.  So the business grew.

Then about 15 years later - just as the burger fever began to grip the nation- Truett had a unique idea.  Instead of a quarter pound of beef on a bun, why not substitute a plump, juicy, boneless breast of chicken?

And thus, in the early 1960's, he introduced the original Chick-fil-A* Chicken Sandwich.  In 1967, the first Chick-fil-A Restaurant opened in Atlanta's Greenbriar Mall.  And shortly thereafter, his chicken sandwich really took off.

Today, millions of folks enjoy our original chicken sandwich, still cooked Truett's special way, hand-breaded in each restaurant.  Every day.

And it's our hope that every meal, like this story, has a happy ending.
