“Chick-fil-A Named Nation’s Top Chicken Chain” Consumer Reports in 2011, which polled an estimated 36,000 readers, rates seven other chicken chains across the country and Chick-fil-A beat its competitors in outstanding scores for politeness of staff, high marks for food, value and speed of service. When founder and Chief Executive Officer, S. Truett Cathy, founded his first restaurant in 1946 oddly named Dwarf Grill, in Hapeville Georgia, he never thought that he will be involved with constructing the second largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain in the United States, with over 1,700 locations in 39 states and Washington, D.C. In 2012, annual sales were well over $4.6 billion. Not too shabby for a company that since its inception in 1946 closes its doors each and every Sunday faithfully . The key players of this restaurant chain or the executive committee consist of S. Truett Cathy, the Chairman, Founder, and Chief Executive Officer. Cathy built his life and business based on hard work, humility and biblical principles. In his 2002 book, “Eat Mor Chikin: Inspire More People”, he said, “Nearly every moment of every day we have the opportunity to give something to some else-our time, our love, our resources.” With these Truett Cathy has built Chik-fil-A as the second-largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain in the United States based on annual sales. Dan T. Cathy, (son of founder) President and Chief Operative Officer simply describes his position as, “working in customer service.” Rather than leading from the corporate headquarters in Atlanta, Dan chooses to spend the majority of his time traveling to the chain’s growing restaurants and interacting with restaurant operators and team members. Several major marketplace awards recently have affirmed the commitment and performance of Chick-fil-A Operators and team members.
