Chick-fil-A is focusing on the future. In doing so, the fast food retailer wants to make everyone feel welcome and increase its healthy food offerings.

Controversy struck the company in 2012 when they took a stance against gay marriage. It led to picketing and customer complaints on social media as well as supporters flocking to the restaurant.

Now, CEO Dan Cathy wants to stay away from controversy and insists (Chick-fil-A) "sincerely cares about all people."

As Chick-fil-A expands its business, it wants to improve its nutritional offerings. For 12 years, the company has been perfecting the perfect grilled chicken recipe from over 1,000 different recipes. It wants to target the health-conscious Millenials.

Not only do Millenials prefer healthlier food, they also have other demands like antibiotic-free chicken. Chick-fil-A plans to respond by only selling that type of chicken within the next five years.

Additionally, the restaurant is trying to rid artificial sweetners from its products and even try to get rid of the use of plastics in its locations.

With Chick-fil-A's growth and rapid expansion, it can't go back to its old values. The company has a socially conservative agenda, donating millions to groups opposing gay marriage. It can't continue this way if it wants to survive against giants like McDonald's and Chipotle.

The restaurant plans to expand in big cities like Chicago and Los Angeles and Cathy insists he'll stay out of social issues.

"I'm going to leave it to politicians and others to discuss social issues." Cathy told USA TODAY.

As Chick-fil-A continues to grow (it surpassed KFC in domestic chicken sales), Cathy aims to urbanize the restaurant. 

From a suburban food court store to a big-city chicken giant, Chick-fil-A hopes for success like its out-the-door lines it encountered in Chicago three years ago when it first came to the city.

An increase of 108 locations is planned for 2014, and most of them will be urban areas such as New York City.
