"We must motivate ourselves to do our very best, and by our example lead others to do their best as well."
- Truett Cathy
Armed with a keen business sense, a work ethic
forged during the Depression, and a personal and business
philosophy based on biblical principles, Truett Cathy took a tiny
Atlanta diner, originally called the Dwarf Grill, and transformed
it into Chick-fil-A, the nation’s second largest quick-service
chicken restaurant chain with more than $2.64 billion in sales in
2007 and currently more than 1,380 locations. His tremendous
business success allowed Truett to pursue other passions – most
notably his interest in the development of young people.
