Chick-Fil-A’s founder Truett Cathy passed away this past week. Georgia truly lost one of the greatest people to come from our wonderful state. He marketed Chick-Fil-A and turned it into one of the largest food chains in America even being closed on Sunday’s. Here’s 13 facts that you probably didn’t know about Chick-Fil-A.

 

1. Chick-Fil-A’s first location is in Hapeville, Georgia and stays open 24 hours.

Truett Cathy was a firm believer in service (as you know). The “A” stands for “Grade A” service/quality.

 

6. Chick-Fil-A has sold over 3 Billion Sandwiches

If you laid all of these sandwiches in a line, it would roughly amount to 250,000 miles. That means this line can go around the earth’s circumference 10 times!

 

7. Chick-Fil-A Sauce is ranch, honey mustard & barbecue sauce mixed.

In the 1980’s Truett Cathy opened the Rock Ranch with the success of Chick-Fil-A. We actually visited recently & had a great time!

Take a close look at the sign. This is the first Waffle House located in Decatur, GA in 1965. Truett Cathy allowed Waffle House to sell his sandwich but it got so popular, people started ordering the sandwich and not Waffle House food. Therefore, Waffle House backed out.

 

13. There are 12 states in America that don’t have Chick-Fil-A.
