Chick-fil-A is a fast food restaurant chain that specializes in chicken sandwiches.
The company was founded in 1946 by S. Truett Cathy, who opened the first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Hapeville, Georgia.
The company is privately held and family-owned, with the Cathy family maintaining control of the business to this day.
The Cathys are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as the Mormon Church.
As a result of their faith, the Cathy family has operated Chick-fil-A with a set of religious values, such as closing on Sundays to allow employees to attend church and promoting traditional family values.
The company has faced criticism and boycotts from those who disagree with their stance on LGBTQ rights, however, Chick-fil-A has not changed its values and continues to operate as a family-owned, privately held business with a foundation based on traditional Christian values.
