Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-A is an American fast food restaurant chain headquartered in the Atlanta suburb of College Park, Georgia, specializing in chicken sandwiches. Founded in 1946, it has been associated with the Southern United States, where it has become a cultural icon. As of November 2012, Chick-fil-A has 1,679 restaurants in 38 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, and is focusing future growth in the American Midwest and Southern California. The corporate culture is heavily influenced by its founder's Christian beliefs, and unlike the vast majority of fast food franchises, Chick-fil-A is closed for business on Sunday.
