Learn the story behind our name.
Few people know that the name Chick-fil-A is both a fun pun and a promise. The capital 'A' stands for top quality and is reflected in everything we do.
It all started when our founder, S. Truett Cathy, named his restaurants after his famous signatureChick-fil-A®Chicken sandwich(also known as the original Chick-fil-A®Chicken sandwich).
“Chick” stands for our juicy chicken, and “file-A” as a play on the word “fillet” – with a little twist. He replaced the "a" with "A" to represent the "Grade-A" quality of our chicken.
While some aspects of our restaurants have changed over the years, this commitment to quality has never wavered. From a focus on fresh ingredients to serving guests with a smile and a "my pleasure" - that's what we deliver every time you eat with us.
We want customers to know – no matter which restaurant they visit – that they can always get itfreshly prepared dishes and welcoming environmentthat they are used toChick-fil-A Canada.
This starts with high-quality ingredients. Did you know? The products are delivered fresh to our restaurant kitchens up to six times a week.Our saladsis prepared fresh daily and the chicken we use to make our sandwiches, strips and nuggets is always breaded by hand (the chicken never comes to us pre-breaded or needs to be reheated).
It's also about our strict cleanliness and safety standards. Operators and team members pay close attention to detail when it comes to preparing, packaging and serving every meal – inside and outside the restaurants.
Today, the meaning of 'A' has evolved to include 'all' the little things we do. In addition to our food, this also extends to Chick-fil-A restaurantscare for guests and team membersInhave a positive impact on their local community.
Together with the "Grade-A" quality of our food, the "A" stands for "Above" and going above and beyond to always show you our "A-game" and give you the best every day.
