Founder S. Truett Cathy began his entrepreneurial career at eight years old, selling Coca-Cola bottles in front of his home. From there, he became a highly successful restauranteur and launched one of the most successful chicken restaurant chains in the United States. Established in the 1960s, Chick-fil-A® has over 3,500 restaurants located across the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. When you take the Chick-fil-A® Backstage Tour, we hope you experience a dose of the genuine Southern hospitality we serve in our restaurants as well as learn about the history and heritage of Chick-fil-A.
