Founded in 1946 by S. Truett Cathy when he opened his first restaurant, the Dwarf Grill, in Hapeville, GA, Chick-fil-A has grown to become one of the most recognized brands in the quick service restaurant industry and has been named the #1 restaurant brand in 2023 by the American Customer Satisfaction Index for several years in a row.

Chick-fil-A is known for its menu of fresh, hand-crafted food and offers a variety of options for guests. Signature items include a hand-breaded, boneless chicken breast sandwich, Waffle Potato Fries and hand-spun milkshakes. Chick-fil-A Lacey uses only premium ingredients and makes many of its menu items from scratch in the restaurant each day, including hand-chopped salads.

Chick-fil-A Lacey partners with regional farmers and suppliers to source as many locally- and regionally-grown ingredients as possible. In fact, the restaurant sources all of its bread from Portland-based Franz Bakery, all of its potatoes used to make hash browns and Waffle Potato Fries from the Columbia River Basin –with Chick-fil-A buying more than 438 million pounds of potatoes last year alone. Additionally, all of the apples used to supply Chick-fil-A’s West Region restaurants are grown in the Pacific Northwest, sourcing more than 2.25 million pounds of apples from the region each year.
