Just because they’re not closed on Sundays or saying “My pleasure” with a smile doesn’t mean they aren’t a Christian business.

Ever noticed a Bible verse on a random fast-food cup? You might be surprised to learn how many household names are owned by Christians or grounded in Christian values. From retail therapy to tasty meals and even car batteries, these brands show how faith and business don’t have to be separate.

Forever 21

You’ve probably noticed the “John 3:16” printed on the bottom of their shopping bags, a reflection of the owners’ commitment to spreading the Gospel. The founders, Do Won and Jin Sook Chang, are devout Christians who have built their business on biblical principles, making faith a part of their brand’s identity.

Tyson

Founder John W. Tyson instilled Christian principles into the company, and today, they continue to prioritize community outreach. Tyson Foods not only nourishes families around the globe but also seeks to honor God in their work.

George Foreman

Even though a George Foreman grill famously burned Michael Scott’s foot in Season 2 of “The Office,” this brand’s success is a testament to faith. Foreman’s famous grills have become a household staple, but his journey from the boxing ring to entrepreneur is deeply rooted in faith.

Hobby Lobby

Founded by David Green, Hobby Lobby operates on strong Christian values. They’re closed on Sundays to allow employees to rest and worship, and the company actively supports ministries and charitable causes.

Wendy’s

Despite Wendy’s iconic internet roasts, Wendy’s has a plaque of John 3:16 in every restaurant. Founder Dave Thomas credited his faith as the guiding force behind his company’s values of integrity, quality, and community. Wendy’s also supports adoption initiatives through the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption!

Interstate Batteries

Here is what Interstate Batteries qualifies as their culture:

Interstate Batteries is a mission-driven company fueled by our Purpose (to glorify God) and guided by our Values: Love, Servant’s Heart, Excellence, Courage, Community, Joy, and Integrity

Next time you need a jump, remember there’s more to this brand than just batteries.

The next time you grab fries at Wendy’s, pick up craft supplies at Hobby Lobby or plug in a George Foreman grill, you’re supporting brands that merge faith and business in meaningful ways.
