S. Truett Cathy, who turned a humble hometown restaurant featuring a boneless fried chicken sandwich into the Chick-fil-A juggernaut, died Monday at 1:35 a.m. He was 93.
Cathy, who died at home surrounded by loved ones, was known as much for his Christian principles — Chick-fil-A’s are closed on Sundays — as he was for his business acumen. He lived long enough to see his company rise from a local grill to the No. 1 U.S. chicken chain this year.
In many ways, he lived the American dream. Starting life in poverty, Cathy opened a tiny diner on the outskirts of Atlanta and built it into into a corporation with more than 1,800-restaurants. He was inspired as a teen by Napolean Hill’s motivational tome “Think and Grow Rich,” whose mantra was — you can achieve whatever your mind can conceive.

Reat in peace Truett Cathy! Thanks for makin the chicken sandwich and givin me a job for so many years. Such an amazing, inspirational, and Godly man.

Chick-fil-A is a good restaurant. If you call it a "fast food joint" my daughter will correct you and tell you it is "good food served fast". She worked at the store in Decatur during her high school years. Chick-fil-A understands that to get good kids you have to work their schedule around sports, band, chorus and other things high school kids do. She also got every Sunday off.
