Established in 1946. Chick-fil-A, Inc. is a family-owned business known for its customer service, clever cow advertising and delicious food. Founded in the early 1960s by the late S. Truett Cathy, the company has grown from humble beginnings. Credited with inventing the boneless chicken breast sandwich, Cathy first served his now famous Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich inside his original 1946 diner, the Dwarf Grill. Today, the family business has expanded to partner with other families, who throughout communities in 43 states and Washington, D.C. own and operate 2,000 Chick-fil-A® restaurants. While the Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich remains a menu staple, Chick-fil-A® also serves a variety of menu items that include Chick-fil-A Waffle Potato
