Chick-fil-A Inc.
 PROFILE
Beloved by bovines, Chick-fil-A is the nation's #3 fast-food chicken restaurant chain (behind TRICON's KFC and AFC's Popeyes/Church's). It serves chicken entrees, sandwiches, and salads at some 975 stores in about 34 US states and in South Africa. Although half its restaurants are located in shopping malls, the company is focusing most of its expansion efforts on freestanding outlets. Chick-fil-A also licenses units inside hospitals, schools, airports, and other nontraditional locations. Founder and owner S. Truett Cathy, a devout Baptist, closes his stores on Sundays and boasts of a nearly perfect management retention rate.
