Description: 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 largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain with more than $12 billion in sales by 2020 and more than 2,300 locations. His tremendous business success allowed Truett to pursue other passions – most notably his interest in the development of young people. This is his story.
