Chick-fil-A is one of the largest American fast food restaurant chains and the largest whose specialty is chicken sandwiches.[1] Its headquarters are in College Park, Georgia.[2] Chick-fil-A was originally founded as the Dwarf Grill in 1946, changing the name to 'Dwarf House' until rebranding as Chick-fil-A in 1967.[3] The company operates more than 2,300 restaurants, primarily in the United States with locations in 47 states and plans for a location in Hawaii to be the 48th state. The restaurant serves breakfast before transitioning to its lunch and dinner menu. Chick-fil-A also offers customers catered selections from its menu for special events.[4]
Many of the company's values are influenced by the religious beliefs of its late founder, S. Truett Cathy, a devout Southern Baptist. All Chick-fil-A restaurants are closed for business on Sundays,[5] as well as on Thanksgiving and Christmas.[6] The company's stance in opposition to same-sex marriage has been the subject of public controversy.
