S. Truett Cathy Bio – Chick-fil-A Story
 
Samuel Truett Cathy is more than just an American success story since World War II. He has been an American success story ever since that time. He has taken his business from a small restaurant - so small he called it the Dwarf Grill - into a $1.6 billion empire.
 
S. Truett Cathy Background
 
Following his discharge from the U.S. Army in 1946, Cathy and his brother Ben opened the Dwarf Grill in Hapeville, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta. They built near a Ford auto plant, succeeding in bringing in its employees. The brothers noticed some of their customers taking rolls and chicken meat and turning them into chicken sandwiches. After Ben Cathy and another brother were killed in a plane crash, Truett Cathy continued to run the restaurant, which he renamed the Dwarf House and franchised throughout the Atlanta area. The original restaurant is still in business, although the Ford plant has since been closed and demolished.
