A Broken Soldier Invented Chick-fil-A. This Is How It Happened.

Truett Cathy was a C student. When he decided to get serious about his future, he opened a diner with his youngest brother. Only two years later, he lost him and another sibling to a plane crash. And later, his diner burnt down in flames.

He was forced to take out a loan and start over. He took his mother's fried chicken recipe and created Chick-fil-A: an $11 billion dollar fortune.

This is the story of Chick-fil-A.

Wow, it surprised me that he took care of his niece and his brothers wife as well as his own family. That's respect right there.

Love the fact that chick fil a closes on Sundays and still come out beating major competitors!

They really do have the best and friendliest customer service. A very wholesome place.

I remember after the Orlando terrorist attack, the nearby Chick-Fil-A stayed open, into Sunday night, and even gave away some meals

Thank you. I remember when I was in Marietta Georgia I loved the sandwich and sweet tea. I wrote a letter as a new Christian addressed to Mr. Cathy and he sent me a signed book with Proverbs 22:1. I will never forget that.

The customer experience is always excellent at Chick-Fil-A. Their products are always good and they stand by what they serve. For these reasons, I am and will remain a loyal customer

Their customer service is top notch phenomenal. I wish other restaurants would follow suite and take notes.

I remember the small Chick-fil-a’s in the malls in the 80s. There were always lines. My family was poor and we never ate there, though. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I ate their food.

Great video. I love how Mr. Cathy succeeded while not compromising his commitment to his faith

When I worked at Chick-fil-A it was a requirement to know about Cathy and how his business started, even tho the video was super long it was also heartwarming

"How a C Student Invented Chick-fil-A from a Burned Down Restaurant" - They should've called it the "Phoenix Chicken" because the C student rose it from the ashes into an awesome place to eat.

Chicken Fil A is awesome! Im songlad he closed on Sundays. Its reverent, & cool. Employees were given Sundays off, very cool. I'm a Christian so I i appreciate that.

Not just a broken soldier...
A holy warrior

[YourCreativeDreamer]

Wow, what an amazing story! I just finished my third day as a Chick-fil-a employee, and I feel even more honored to be on the staff now that I know the story of resilience behind it

[mallard_streamer]

You make all the story's sound so good and they sound like all the people went through so much and I really feel for them

Spokane Washington got it’s first Chick-fil-A in 2020 and cars lined up for blocks. This continued for awhile. Interesting story about the owner, his family, and the restaurant itself.

[neverstoplearning]

I like how the have people at the drive through, instead of a speaker you talk into, and also definitely how they manage to merge 3 lines into 1 !!

[jameshickman]

Really good story about a soldier in about his family making a wonderful place to eat at even I love Chick-fil-A it's the best and I used to not even like chicken but Chick-fil-A is good
