Chick-fil-A, Inc. has
started construction on its
first stand-alone Chick-fil-A
restaurant in Greensburg
which is projected to open
in January 2007.
The new stand-alone Chick-fil-A
restaurant, located at 5156
Rt. 30, Eastgate Plaza, is
expected to generate
approximately 65 new jobs.
Chick-fil-A, Inc. has
continued its unprecedented
38-year run of consecutive
sales gains since it started
in 1967. The company
reported 2005 system-wide
sales of more than 1.975
billion, resulting in a 13.1
percent increase over 2004
figures and a positive 5.87
percent same-store sales
performance.
Chick-fil-A founder Truett
Cathy is marking several
other milestones this year,
including the 60th year
anniversary of the opening
of his first restaurant, the
Dwarf Grill in Hapeville,
Ga., from which the Chick-fil-A
chain was launched, and the
20th anniversary of its
first stand-alone restaurant
which opened in 1986. Also,
the third generation has
entered the Chick-fil-A
business with Cathy’s
grandson becoming a
restaurant operator in St.
Petersburg, FL in January.
Credited with inventing the
original boneless breast of
chicken sandwich and
introducing the chicken
nugget concept, Chick-fil-A
serves nutritious and
freshly prepared food
products in malls,

campuses and in hospitals,
airports, and other
locations.
Chick-fil-A is the nation’s
second-largest quick-service
chicken restaurant chain
with more than 1,268

Washington D.C. The chain
expects to add more than 72
