On April 30th, Hapeville Dwarf House announced its temporary closure in “preparation for our new beginning.” Chick-fil-A Dwarf House is a branch of the company launched in the late 1980s that recreates founder Truett Cathy and brother Ben Cathy’s original 1946 Hapeville restaurant, then called Dwarf House. Today the eateries that bear the company’s original name offer sit down, counter, and drive-thru service in historically minded spaces and seek to bring together Chick-fil-A’s contemporary menu with Cathy’s original.
The Hapeville rebuild will feature “a combination of styles throughout the history of the ownership and will act as a tribute to Truett Cathy’s devotion to serving quality products to his consumers,” Chick-fil-A Director of Strategic Reinvestment Joseph Latimer wrote in a summary of the Hapeville project.
On September 3rd, Chick-fil-A Hapeville Dwarf House announced one of the building’s most exciting new features. “Historic Patio? Yes, please! We are excited to share a new space from the restaurant design, our 1946 Patio!” shared the company across its social media channels. “It is perfectly positioned on the property, to show off the restaurant’s exact spot in 1946. The original building’s blueprints were used to recreate the beloved counter and stools.”
