Chick-fil-A was founded by S. Truette Cathy who invented the signature boneless chicken breast sandwich in 1964 on a miniature grill in Hapeville, Georgia. The first official Chick-fil-A location was in Atlanta's Greenbriar mall pioneering the food court.They also established a defining tradition, all locations are closed on Sundays to allow employees to rest and worship, a policy established by the devoutly Christian Cathy. The company grew rapidly in the 1970s/80s via shopping malls, later moving to standalone locations. It is known for its "Eat Mor Chikin" marketing campaign and, as of 2023, is the third-largest fast-food chain in the U.S. by sales.The company remains privately held, with the Cathy family continuing to manage operations.
