Restauranteur and Chick-fil-A Founder Truett Cathy began experimenting with the chicken sandwich recipe in 1961 and spent years perfecting what is still Chick-fil-A’s number one selling entrée. Cathy’s cooking method is still the way it’s done more than five decades later, and his recipe is still a secret. Now with over 2,000 locations, Chick-fil-A has arrived in Rochester, MN establishing the loc
ation name as "Chick-fil-A" Ear of Corn." So why is it called "Ear of Corn?" Described by the Rochester Convention and Visitors Bureau as a “powerful symbol of the community’s roots in agriculture and the land." Adjacent to the Seneca Foods processing facility, this ear isn’t just for show; it’s still a functional 50,000-gallon water tower. We are excited to be apart of the community of Rochester and look forward to serving you and your family!
