Chick-fil-A stands out because it is one of the few prominent large businesses that is closed on Sundays. Firstly, it benefits the workers because they get at least one day of the week off and that shows how much they value their employees. Secondly, customers with the same Christian beliefs have more respect on the business because they keep their Sabbath Day holy to honor God which helps in retaining loyal customers. Lastly, it decreases the possibility of customers getting sick of the food. Since it is closed on Sundays, customers are more eager to have Chick-fil-A the next day it opens. Customers will not have the mentality that it is opened everyday so they can go whenever they want which sometimes turns out otherwise, they do not go at…
Likewise, Chic-fil-a is its own distinct fast food category, making it differ from Zaxbys. Since becoming established in 1967, Chic-fil-A has taken on a name for having the best chicken sandwiches across the country. The amazing food goes back to the roots of when the restaurant was first called “Dwarf Grill” by the founders Truett Cathy (Taylor).

Chick Fil-A started in 1946, when Truett Cathy opened his first restaurant, The Dwarf Grill, in Hapeville, Georgia. Credited with inventing Chick-fil-A 's boneless breast of chicken sandwich, Cathy founded Chick-fil-A, Inc. in the early 1960s and pioneered the establishment of restaurants in shopping malls with the opening of the first Chick-fil-A Restaurant at a mall in suburban Atlanta in 1967.

An article I selected from the Wall Street Journal explains how Chick-fil-A was founded and the reason this establishment is so different than many other fast food restaurants. The article states, “The chain's locations are closed on Sundays and play religious-themed music” (Calia & Jargon, 2014). The concept of this entirely different style of fast food has caught on in the Southern States and many customers appreciate the fact that the restaurant stays so true to its values. Since the beginning when S. Truett Cathy opened his first eatery called the Dwarf Grill there has been a focus centered around God. The revenue the company is losing from a busy weekend day doesn’t set this them back, it actually seems to have made more loyal customers…
Looking at this case study, it really shows me how a company that has morals and beliefs can still make it in this competitive environment. I am a huge Chick-fil-A fan and am proud of them for standing by their beliefs.…
The easiest way to figure out who a company is targeting is to look at who their advertisements and commercials are aimed at. Chick-fil-An is based on what they allude to as "family qualities," and that is whom they target intensely. Several locations offer an indoor play area for kids and regularly Chick-fil-A's will have a mascot there on certain days to stroll around and take pictures with children. One exceptional characteristic of Chick-fil-A restaurants is their inclusion in their surrounding communities. For example, the Chick-fil-A in Oxford, MS put on a "Princess Ball" occasion at which fathers and little girls could have a night out on the town. Many Chick-fil-A's hold "Child's Nights" where kids come in and make craft and receive…

The multi-billion dollar company we know as Chick-fil-A, today, has changed very much since its first opening. The major company we know today, all started in 1946, when Truett Cathy opened his first restaurant, Dwarf Grill, in Hapeville, Georgia. Credited with inventing Chick-fil-A's boneless breast of chicken sandwich, Mr. Cathy founded Chick-fil-A, Inc. in the early 1960s and pioneered the establishment of restaurants in shopping malls with the opening of the first Chick-fil-A Restaurant at a mall in suburban Atlanta in 1967. The company became known for its popular breaded chicken sandwiches and waffle fries, as well as other menu items such as chicken salads, chicken strips, and chicken nuggets…
Whataburger and Chick-Fil-A are both considered fast food restaurants, however, these two restaurants have a lot of differences such as the food, the cleanliness, and the service. Whataburger seems popular, but Chick-Fil-A provides the better choice. Looking at the foods on the menu reveals the first major difference between Whataburger and Chick-Fil-A. Whataburger offers mainly unhealthy beef burgers, and they serve deep fried chicken. Chick-Fil-A serves their famous chicken, grilled or lightly breaded. Cleanliness adds another difference between Whataburger and Chick-Fil-A. Whenever I go to Whataburger, it does not seem as clean as when I go to Chick-Fil-A. The last time I went to Whataburger, I noticed the seats, floors, and the drink station…

After conducting some research it appears the “puritan work ethic” is not present in India. The people of India need to understand the reason why they are doing something. They do not do tasks just for the sake of keeping busy. For example, Indian kids in school do not receive “busy” work when it comes to homework, rather they get homework that will help the understand concepts. In America, we strive on this idea that we should always be doing something, rather it has purpose or not. This different style of work can be conflicting when conducting business in India for Chick-Fil-A. Since India has this notion of not working long hours just for the sake of working, it can conflict with Chick-Fil-A’s work values. Chick-Fil-A…
