The first paragraph of the History section needs a citation for what I believe to be the demolishing of the first Chick-Fil-A. This is the official brand site describing both the restaurant and it's closure for a citation. https://www.chick-fil-a.com/about/s-truett-cathy-brand-restaurants/dwarf-grill TinkerJoy (talk) 18:52, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Secondary sources are preferred over primary sources from the restaurant itself. WP:PSTS I am not able to make an edit on this page either, but here are a couple of secondary sources talking about this, it was actually remolded, not just demolished as the paragraph currently reads.

announcing demolition and plans to rebuild.

In the section "International Locations," there is a sub-section about "Puerto Rico." Puerto Rico is part of the US and not international. While seemingly uninmportant, this helps perpetuate racist tropes about Puerto Ricans not being American. Please correct this. Thank you. QriSgeorge (talk) 18:10, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-In the US, breakfast is always served before lunch so this shouldn't come as a shock??
