Enjoy a Chick Fil A tomorrow in his honor. Thanks for standing up for what’s right and bringing a good product to our Not so Free Market. God Bless The Cathy Family and RIP S. Truett

“It still says a lot about a man who can start from nothing and build a billion dollar business.”

AND had the moral integrity to do what’s right and close on Sunday, regardless of untold millions in lost revenue over the years with that policy in place. RIP Mr. Cathy.
