Chick-fil-A is what it is today because of its people, purpose and product.

I motivate what I see in young people because we employ about forty thousand young people in our various Chick-fil-A units. Some of them come to work because they need to work; others just work because they just like to work. There's nothing wrong with that.

You don't have to be a Christian to work at Chick-fil-A, but we ask you to base your business on biblical principles because they work.

Putting people before profits is how we've tried to operate from the beginning.

I see no conflict whatsoever between Christianity and good business practices. People say you can't mix business with religion. I say there's no other way.

It's a silent witness to the Lord when people go into shopping malls, and everyone is bustling, and you see that Chick-fil-A is closed.
