Another great year for Chick-fil-A
The Atlanta based restaurant ended 2009 with more than $3 billion dollars in sales for the first time ever, marking its 42nd consecutive year of growth. The chain, founded by S. Truett Cathy, has grown in annual sales every year since it was founded in 1967.
The Cathy family is very open about their Christian faith. Chick-Fil-A president Dan Cathy saying that “We have sensed God’s continued blessings on this business. We have truly been blessed to have had another year of sales growth during these difficult economic times.”
- Chick-fil-A plans on opening 78 new stores in 20-10.
- Later in the year, Chick-fil-A plans a roll out of a spicy version of its original chicken sandwich. www.chickfila.com

The recession has led to less of everything in North Carolina: fewer jobs, lower sales figures, reduced access to credit -- and even less trash. Waste previously created by the housing and building markets is not being produced and, therefore, is not ending up in North Carolina landfills. www.bizjournals.com/triad/stories/2010/02/01/daily52.html
Fact: 1 out of 3 homeless people are under the age of 18. You can help fight teen homelessness in our area just by donating your old blue jeans. Aeropostale is hosting its third annual ‘Teens For Jeans’ going on January 19th through February 14th. Just drop off any pair of your gently worn jeans to any Aéropostale store between January 19th and February 14th and Aeropostale will donate the jeans to a local homeless shelter or charity. To say thanks, Aéropostale will give you an additional 25% off your next pair of jeans. Last year, over 200,000 pairs of jeans were collected. Details www.teensforjeans.com
