Original Chick-fil-A To Close For Renovations
The Chick-fil-A Dwarf House in Hapeville, just outside of Atlanta, will close at the end of April for a makeover.
ATLANTA — Chick-fil-A Hapeville Dwarf House, the original Chick-fil-A store, will temporarily close its doors later this spring for a makeover.
The store, located in Hapeville, GA, just outside Atlanta’s city borders to the south and near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, was originally opened in May 1946 as the Dwarf Grill by founder S. Truett Cathy. It was opened 24 hours a day, six days a week to serve crews from the nearby Ford plant and Atlanta’s airport. The Dwarf Grill, like all Chick-fil-A locations today, was closed on Sundays.
A post on Facebook Tuesday evening suggested that renovations could begin sometime in May, but did not specify how long the work would take.

Chick-fil-A Dwaf House properties differ from typical Chick-fil-A stores, with an expanded menu beyond just chicken sandwiches and salads. Dwarf Houses offerings include steaks, hamburgers, macaroni and cheese, collard greens and coleslaw, among other items from Cathy's original menu.
