Chick-fil-A is a family business that first began in 1946 at the Dwarf Grill in Hapeville, Georgia. Truett Cathy, the founder of Chick-fil-A, began his entrepreneurial journey as a young boy by selling Coca-Cola bottles to his neighbors for a small profit. Truett and his brother Ben opened the Dwarf Grill in 1946 - a 24 hour, 6 day a week restaurant close to the airport. In 1967, after years of perfecting the Chick-fil-A Sandwich, Truett opened the first Chick-fil-A Restaurant in Greenbriar Mall in Atlanta. Chick-fil-A in Ankeny, Iowa, opened in September of 2014. We look forward to serving our community for many years to come with excellence in our customer service and food products.
In our kitchens, we focus on fresh and simple ingredients. And we always have. Since the beginning, we've served chicken that is whole breast meat, with no added fillers or hormones, and we bread it by hand in our restaurants. Produce is delivered fresh to our kitchens several times a week. Salads are chopped and prepared fresh throughout the day. Fresh squeezed lemon juice is delivered fresh to our restaurant throughout the week and combined with pure cane sugar and water (yep, that’s all) to make Chick-fil-A Lemonade®. We take care in all aspects of our business.
