WHAT
Truett Cathy, founder and chief executive officer of Chick-fil-A, will make his first appearance at the Atlanta Press Club to unveil his formula for success. He will be joined by the Chick-fil-A Mascot who will hand out 2008 calendars, free sandwich cards and the collectible plush cows. Chick-fil-A Bowl fans are invited to wear their school colors. Mr. Cathy will also sign his latest book, How Did You Do It, Truett?*
WHO
Cathy is listed in a "billionaire's club" with fellow Georgians Ann Cox Chambers, her nephew James Kennedy and Home Depot co-founders Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank. Born in Eatonton in 1921, he holds the distinction as the only native Georgian in this top ranking. Cathy opened his first restaurant in 1946 and has grown his fast-food empire based on Biblical principals. Even though the restaurants are not open on Sunday, Chick-fil-A ranks as the second-largest quick-serve chicken chain in the United States. Cathy is known for his benevolence through his WinShape® Foundation, which has given more than $23 million in scholarships to Chick-fil-A restaurant employees since 1973.
