Georgia’s very own Chick-fil-A has become a favorite for many Americans with over 2,000 locations across the U.S. – but every success story has a beginning. S. Truett Cathy opened his first restaurant and Chick-fil-A fans can now immerse themselves in the rich history of this amazing company.

Headquartered near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the Chick-fil-A Home Office, recently renamed the Chick-fil-A Support Center, is now open to the public through the Chick-fil-A Home Office Backstage Tour.
