The $120 billion industry includes over 200,000 restaurants with 50% of those specializing in hamburger entrees. (hoovers.com 2008) The major competitors in the industry include McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, Subway, and KFC – Chick-fil-A’s major competitor in chicken sales.

Truett spent 4 years perfecting his chicken sandwich recipe, using cooking techniques he learned from his mother. His chicken sandwiches quickly began to outsell hamburgers. The term “Chick-fil-A” was patented in 1963, abbreviating the words chicken and fillet and using a capital “A” to represent the concept of being the best. With that, the Chick-fil-A sandwich was born. In 1964 Chick-fil-A became an incorporated company and began selling the Chick-fil-A sandwich to restaurants.
