Chick-fil-A, famous for disrupting customers cravings on Sundays by closing its doors nationwide…may be soon forced to remain open seven days a week…shirking Chick-fil-A’s Sunday closing tradition.
A new bill Bill (A08336) is being proposed in New York that would require food service to be open along rest stops on Interstate 90, and transportation areas…seven days a week. And if passed, NJ Port Authority would also be required to follow suit.
Since 1946, the chain has traditionally been closed on Sundays as a day for worship and rest.
The bill notes:
“While there is nothing objectionable about a fast food restaurant closing on a particular day of the week, service areas dedicated to travelers is an inappropriate location for such a restaurant … Allowing for retail space to go unused one seventh of the week or more is a disservice and unnecessary inconvenience to travelers who rely on these service areas.”
If passed, it could lead to more states following suit, and possibly ending Chick-fil-A’s Sunday closure rest period.
Thruway Spokesperson Jenny Givner opposed the bill and said:
“Our requirement is that we have at least one hot food option available. If Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays we have other alternatives for our customers.”
Chick-fil-A has been replacing their Styrofoam cups for a new paper-based cup developed to keep beverages cool…but customers aren’t happy about the switch. They took to social media outlets like TikTok to document their cup replacement discovery. One disturbed customer said:
“Absolutely not!!! CFA, y’all’s cups were the best! Don’t give us that paper garbage.”
If this bill passes, it would affect at least 15-20 or more Chick-fil-A locations. And customers would be more than happy if they could get their chicken fix on Sunday.
