Dominate growth markets

    The fast food restaurant industry, which includes quick-service and fast-casual restaurants, is highly segmented with the top 50 companies accounting for only 25% of the industry’s sales. The $120 billion industry includes over 200,000 restaurants with 50% of those specializing in hamburger entrees. (hoovers.com 2008) The major competitors in the industry include McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, Subway, and KFC – Chick-fil-A’s major competitor in chicken sales. Chick-fil-A’s unique position in the market, specializing in chicken-based entrées, has lead to a competitive advantage which the company has been able to capitalize on. Recently, many competitors have added chicken entrees in order to compete in the market segment.

    In 1946 the late Truett Cathy opened the Dwarf Grill, later renamed the Dwarf House, with a menu based on hamburgers and milkshakes. Truett spent 4 years perfecting his chicken sandwich recipe, using cooking techniques he learned from his mother. His chicken sandwiches quickly began to outsell hamburgers. The term “Chick-fil-A” was patented in 1963, abbreviating the words chicken and fillet and using a capital “A” to represent the concept of being the best. With that, the Chick-fil-A sandwich was born. In 1964 Chick-fil-A became an incorporated company and began selling the Chick-fil-A sandwich to restaurants. In fear of a large chain restaurant taking over his concept, Truett decided to open his…

    Truett Cathy is the known for introducing the original chicken sandwich and for spearheading in-mall fast food services. The “Dwarf House” was opened by Truett Cathy in 1947 in a small town called Hapeville in Atlanta, GA, originally named the Dwarf Grill because of its small size. Cathy started experimenting with the chicken sandwich concept at the Dwarf House. In the early 60’s he developed the recipe for his famous chicken sandwich and he trademarked Chick fil-A. In 1967 Chick fil-A opened its first in-mall restaurant in the Greenbriar Mall. In 1985 Mr. Cathy opened the first full-service Dwarf House. Cathy came up with the name by creatively playing with the words chicken fillet. The “A” at the end of Chick fil-A represents what he calls “top quality”.
