A Broken Soldier Invented Chick-fil-A. This Is How It Happened.

Truett Cathy was a C student. When he decided to get serious about his future, he opened a diner with his youngest brother. Only two years later, he lost him and another sibling to a plane crash. And later, his diner burnt down in flames.
He was forced to take out a loan and start over. He took his mother's fried chicken recipe and created Chick-fil-A: an $11 billion dollar fortune.
This is the story of Chick-fil-A.

Not only homeless but even surviving the great depression but its becoz fast food was poor peoples or not so rich food at that time, coming in ordering and then eating it even if you have to stand but tge rrich used to go to resfaurabts with wine and all. Ever wkndered why fast food not include such drinks becoz its just not like that. Thats is why fast food and yes it costs too low even today to open your own fast food kiosk or stall rather compared to a fancy restaurant or cafe. Plus rich of those time used to had hotels restaurants then why they need to open fast food shops. Think of it.
