Our Story
Chick-fil-A, Inc., Founder S. Truett Cathy, started the business in 1946, when he and his brother, Ben, opened an Atlanta diner known as The Dwarf Grill (later renamed The Dwarf House®). Through the years, that restaurant prospered and led Cathy to further the success of his business. In 1967, Cathy founded and opened the first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Atlanta's Greenbriar Shopping Center. Today, Chick-fil-A has the highest same-store sales and is the largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain in the United States based on annual system-wide sales.
Truett Cathy always maintained he wasn't in the chicken business, but the people business. From knowing his customers by name, to forming lifelong friendships with his employees, Cathy viewed his business as more than a source of revenue for him and his family; it was a source of encouragement to others.
It is the vision of Chick-fil-A Harris Square in Harrisburg, N.C. to be a place of positivity that cares for others, while being a good steward of the resources we have; seeking to achieve growth, profitability, and giving for our employees, guests, and the community.
Thank you to all who make Chick-fil-A Harris Square an amazing place to be!
