- Truett Cathy was a C student. When he decided to get serious about his future, he opened a diner with his youngest brother. Only two years later, he lost him and another sibling to a plane crash. And later, his diner burnt down in flames.
He was forced to take out a loan and start over. He took his mother's fried chicken recipe and created Chick-fil-A: an $11 billion dollar fortune.
This is the story of Chick-fil-A.
You asked for Chick-fil-A... we delivered! 🐔
Comment what story you'd like to see next!
I love ur channel!!

Wendys or arbys would be cool. Maybe Pepsi? Look just keep making high quality videos and i dont care what they are about ill watch them.

I remember after the Orlando terrorist attack, the nearby Chick-Fil-A stayed open, into Sunday night, and even gave away some meals
@John S Shush.
@John S guys I said cringe!! :D im so cool aint I?
@@celeb-seventeen yes very
@John S annoying
@John S are
Love the fact that chick fil a closes on Sundays and still come out beating major competitors!
Same!
Lets not act like its not bcuz they over price their food 🙄🙄🙄
@@jojosurrayyah$ 8 is overpriced???that’s how much I spend every time I eat there
Facts , they do got the best food
@@chrisonherion1586 it’s literally the same price As a McDonald’s meal - like what
Wow, it surprised me that he took care of his niece and his brothers wife as well as his own family. That's respect right there.
He was the breadwinner as a teenager, so I wouldn't have expected nothing less of man of his stature..
They really do have the best and friendliest customer service. A very wholesome place.
they have God on their side. :)
I totally agree 👍.... superior 👏 customer service!
@@Pinkstvvr i was gonna say the same!!
@@Pinkstvvr Fr 😭

The customer experience is always excellent at Chick-Fil-A. Their products are always good and they stand by what they serve. For these reasons, I am and will remain a loyal customer
Yep i gotta commend them for it
You spell Chick-fil-A wrong doesn't seem very loyal to me
@@sostl154 Typo on my part. Thanks for pointing that out. Have a good weekend.
@@kevin7151 when you dump all your points into charisma
@@sukunawithadrink432 I appreciate your kind words. Hopefully you are having a grilled chicken club sandwich and a milk shake as we speak. Best to you and the family.
Thank you. I remember when I was in Marietta Georgia I loved the sandwich and sweet tea. I wrote a letter as a new Christian addressed to Mr. Cathy and he sent me a signed book with Proverbs 22:1. I will never forget that.
The Dwarf House in Fayetteville.🌱
That was his favorite verse. He instilled it in each of us. I still have the framed verse he gave me when I purchased my first car (with his help by matching my money), on my desk at work. Miss him greatly
"How a C Student Invented Chick-fil-A from a Burned Down Restaurant" - They should've called it the "Phoenix Chicken" because the C student rose it from the ashes into an awesome place to eat.
in an alternate universe, that's what happened! :D

I remember the small Chick-fil-a’s in the malls in the 80s. There were always lines. My family was poor and we never ate there, though. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I ate their food.
I remember the 1980s when Chic Fil A was only in malls. I thought it was weird that a fast food place was only in malls and couldnt understand why they didnt have a restaurant outside of a mall
Ooooh
When I worked at Chick-fil-A it was a requirement to know about Cathy and how his business started, even tho the video was super long it was also heartwarming
Their customer service is top notch phenomenal. I wish other restaurants would follow suite and take notes.
It’s because there true Christians they act how Christians should
Hey I remember when you were just at 15k! Guess your goin viral. You deserve it for the quality content you make

Not just a broken soldier...
A holy warrior
Chicken Fil A is awesome! Im songlad he closed on Sundays. Its reverent, & cool. Employees were given Sundays off, very cool. I'm a Christian so I i appreciate that.
Chick fil A isn’t a person,They closedown on sundays as a old rule as they need a break atleast for one day I really wouldn’t call it cool as every job other then fast foods places give you off on Saturday and Sunday
Why would a Christian appreciate getting Sunday off?
@@viper9600 Based off the reading, maybe church.
@@viper9600 because of church🙂 church is sometimes on Saturdays or Sundays
Great video. I love how Mr. Cathy succeeded while not compromising his commitment to his faith
When your religion is hateful and includes harming others, I cannot respect it.
It’s not Muslim based, so it’s okay.
@@dougbowers1256 I feel the same about leftists, socialists , Marxists etc. You know. The tolerant among us.
@@sethralavode9012 Yeah , I didn’t see any beheadings, drowning or burning alive in cages . So I guess you’re right. Societies so privileged to have such a wonderful religion “ of peace”
@@sethralavode9012 So what if it was Muslim?
Wow, what an amazing story! I just finished my third day as a Chick-fil-a employee, and I feel even more honored to be on the staff now that I know the story of resilience behind it
Do u still work there?
@@DEEYENN yes i do
All of that hard work is now getting ruined by wokism!
@@okreally325do you still work there mister krabs

Spokane Washington got it’s first Chick-fil-A in 2020 and cars lined up for blocks. This continued for awhile. Interesting story about the owner, his family, and the restaurant itself.
"Sow-thurn". Gets me every time how you pronounce that. lol
I cringed every time I heard that haha
That was the preferred pronunciation at one time, but it seems to have changed in the early 20th century. There are recordings of a Civil War veteran made around 1909 where he talks about "Sow-thern rights".
Carpetbagger
@@notthatyouasked6656 Must have been a yank pronouncing it cuz that ain’t it.
@Mary Magdalene Etters Yes, I say it that way too.
You're making me hungry! Our local Chick-fil-A is always busy; their food and service is the best. They've earned (and are earning) their reputation. I'll drive miles out of my way to go to one.
What an inspirational story!
I like how the have people at the drive through, instead of a speaker you talk into, and also definitely how they manage to merge 3 lines into 1 !!
But it's unrealistic to expect everyone to know exactly what they want to order without seeing a menu. Very annoying!
aint even watch it but i know im getting quality content that i should pay for
EpitOme THEN WATCH THE ADS
Edit: adds to ads
These ARE commercials - don't you want to get some Chick-fil-A right now ?
Wow. Looking back at his life tragedies this was something big in the making.
me too.
Really good story about a soldier in about his family making a wonderful place to eat at even I love Chick-fil-A it's the best and I used to not even like chicken but Chick-fil-A is good
I grew up eating at one of the first ones in Hapeville, Georgia......the Dwarf House. Awesome food. My folks knew Mr. Cathy....a truly Godly man!
What an inspiring story about one man's determination
through myriad tragedies to persevere to success! A true Horatio Alger story.
HOW DO YOU RELEASE SO MANY VIDEOS THAT ARE SO HIGH QUALITY! my guess is you do it with "pleasure"
I doubt it's just one person making these videos and doing the research for them. Its got to be a team
He's paying freelancers to do the work, it's all about making money from ads
@@ThisIsThePlanet DUDE YOU ARE JUST AS GOOD. Keep up the quality content man!
Chick-fil-a got the best customer service.
For some reason I always crave chick-fil-a on a Sunday 😩
bro same it always on sundays
Now I feel like all fast food chains started with a homeless man or something.
HILARIOUS
colonel sanders from KFC was sort of homeless.
@@mf5531 Dave Thomas of Wendy's was adopted
Not only homeless but even surviving the great depression but its becoz fast food was poor peoples or not so rich food at that time, coming in ordering and then eating it even if you have to stand but tge rrich used to go to resfaurabts with wine and all. Ever wkndered why fast food not include such drinks becoz its just not like that. Thats is why fast food and yes it costs too low even today to open your own fast food kiosk or stall rather compared to a fancy restaurant or cafe. Plus rich of those time used to had hotels restaurants then why they need to open fast food shops. Think of it.
Chick-fil-A is terrific!! Not only the food, but their values!!!
You make all the story's sound so good and they sound like all the people went through so much and I really feel for them
I love the look at the people behind the business and the numbers!! Your videos are amazing. Keep up the great work!!
God is extremely pleased that Chick Fil A is closed on sundays
What an amazing man! He is convicted of his values! Love chic filet a!🐓
Closed on Sunday’s, you’re my chik fil a
I love the original sandwich. I remember my first one was from a mall based Chic-fil-A in Lafayette, LA in the early 80's. I had them for lunch very often after that.
These videos are so high quality and you explain it very simple and understandable.
There are some great high quality videos dude, hope you'll grow bigger and bigger
The chick fil a near me has a huge parking lot and dining room and drive thru because people in my area are ADDICTED to chick fil a
Remember me when u have 10 mil subs too!
Edit: Good job on about 150k subs keep doing your work.Hope your successful.
Nice to hear about a man who did not dwell in VICTIMHOOD......cause he went thru tough times..
PREACH
He had white privilege
@@unacceptableviews4404 If you are being serious, back in those days it was rampant man. Zoot suit riot happened a few years back from that. Nowadays none of that matters though.
@@unacceptableviews4404 good joke.
@@unacceptableviews4404 Before it was called "white privilege" it was called "a work ethic".
When a person honors God they will be blessed

@Steven g watch the video
“South-ern” We say, “Suh-thun” did y’all catch that? “...worked every day except Sunday...” I always wondered why they’re not open on Sundays to this day. Thanks for the videos, cheers!!
It's because the franchise is owned by Christians. We worship on Sundays, which is problematic if you're also trying to run a business too. Taking Sundays off to worship and relax is something many tend to do.
i dont think you realize how underrated you are.....
I’ve been watching these videos and I’m ‘hooked’ ! Keep doing what you’re doing, They’re great 👍
Hey! I remember you from when you were 30-40k subs only! Its glad to see that you grew this big m8,you deserve it :) keep up the good content ❤

@@harveyknguyen sources and proof and what exactly did he do?
I'm inspired
this is not even funny, but okay
Bxby humor is subjective
The protest against chick fil a really exploded their sales and awareness.
I remembering watching your cheetos video or something after you were in my recommended and you were only 5k subs. Its good to see your getting the recognition you deserve
These are great videos. Thanks for doing them.
God has blessed you, may he continue. P.S. love your chicken sandwich!
Mr Truett, thank you for your service, SIR!
I needed this video at this time...thank you!
I have just recently started working with CF and its great. Some of the kindest people I’ve worked with. This is not just a job.
Dang, you’re blowing up. Last I checked you had 50k! Do Popeyes next!
1 year ago?!?!?!?!? Dude check his subs now he now has something called 5__ k guess the number!
Have never and will never miss any of your content. Much ❤️ from Kenya 🇰🇪
the staff there is incredibly kind. AMAZING FOOD. affordable price!

We wish we could have Chick-Fil-A in the Philippines...

Heck, you got Jolibee and that Crab place I can't think of right now...

Thank you I need this for an interview
woah bruh last time i saw you, you had 3 vids and 5k subs. Great to see you grow (: . keep it up
Quality content, as always ;)
Do Popeyes and church’s chicken and brusters ice cream
All of those are in the Philly area. I agree
I live in philly and have no idea what churches chicken and Brusters ice cream is
What is churches chicken
Only one I recognize is Popeyes. Where you from?
I am from South America Guyana
What a beautiful story for entrepreneurs!! Or anyone with a drive to be a success to themselves!!
I like the fact that they are the last fast food restaurant that hires teenagers and not illegal trespassers.
Been here since 20k congrats
They have excellent chicken sandwiches and their waffle fries are great too. Plus their employees are off on the Lord’s day. Probably the best fast food chain hands down
My daughter drove me to Chick-fil-A about a month ago. I had never been there before. I couldn't get over the delicious and high quality food. I am hooked! And, those shakes!!! The best.
They run a fast food place better than our country can run the border.
I used to go to that dwarf house and get eggs and tater tots they didn't have hash browns after the bars used to close years ago. I was so loaded I thought I had to hunch through that 4-ft door to get inside not realizing there was a regular sized door right around the corner
Rip Mr Cathy ihave always loved chicfalay i used to buy at Singing River Mall in gautierthen i moved to Georgia live in Merietta now still buying chicfalay at 73yrs love it
when they got to the part about him opening a space in the mall it made me emotional. some of my first memories of being in the mall was eating free samples from chik fil a.
Sowthern. Love it.
Good for Mr. Cathy!!!! I don't know anyone who doesn't like Chick Fil A!!!!
Amazing content!

Wow! I have an interview on Monday :) great story :))
Best Chick-fil-A commercial. Hand to go and get me some Chick-fil-A.
There is still a Chik-Fil-A restaurant in College Park, Georgia that offers full service dining.
Love the food, but the customer service is unparalleled.
Great video already subscribed
One of the greatest restaurants in existence. Never had a bad sandwich.
