A Visit to Chick-Fil-A

This weekend, I, along with some other family members, attended a Christmas Open House at Chick-Fil-A headquarters in Atlanta. The corporate headquarters building was beautiful and we were entertained by the Atlanta Boy's Choir and several other musical groups. We toured the product kitchens, the antique car display, the museum and also walked through the office of Truett Cathy, founder of Chick-Fil-A.

As is the case of many successful people, Truett Cathy started very small - but with big ideas and a strong work ethic. He started as a short-order cook at a small grill in Hapeville, GA, and he now has Chick-Fil-A restaurants in 1000 locations throughout the United States.

I am always inspired by people who are successful but who never lose sight of the things that are really important - love of God, family and fellow man. It is obvious from touring his headquarters that Mr. Cathy has always embodied these principles.

Thank you , Mr. Cathy and Chick-Fil-A.
