It all started in 1946, when Truett Cathy opened his first restaurant in Hapeville, Georgia. Credited with inventing Chick-fil-A's boneless breast of chicken sandwich, Mr. Cathy founded Chick-fil-A, Inc. in the early 1960s. Since then, Chick-fil-A has steadily grown to become the largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain in the United States, based on domestic annual sales with over 1,900 locations in 42 states and Washington, D.C. In 2015, annual sales exceeded $6 billion. Chick-fil-A, Inc. is still privately held and most restaurant locations are independently owned franchises.  The Glendale Chick-fil-A location at 59th and Thunderbird is independently owned by Troy Seavers.  Troy is passionate about the restaurant business and serving his guests in a remarkable way.
