Chick-Fil-A is a fast food restaurant chain with over 1,600 locations across the United States. The company was founded in 1969 in Atlanta, Georgia by Truett Cathy.
Chick-Fil-A is a closed chain, meaning that it does not franchise operations. Chick-Fil-A is headquartered in Atlanta.
In November 2018, The New York Times published an article entitled “Chick-Fil-A’s History of Funding Hate” in which it was revealed that the company had donated millions of dollars to anti-LGBT organizations over the years. This revelation has led to calls for a boycott of the chain.
Despite the controversy, Chick-Fil-A still has locations in Philadelphia. However, the company has not commented publicly on the allegations made in the Times article.
In the absence of a clear statement from Chick-Fil-A, it is difficult to say whether or not the chain will continue to operate in Philadelphia.
