Chick-fil-A Open On Sundays? New York-Proposed Law Could Make This A Reality For Some Locations
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
New York is considering Bill A08336, which would require all food services at transportation facilities to be open seven days a week, potentially affecting Chick-fil-A's policy of closing on Sundays. The bill aims to provide reliable food services for travelers and the commercial trucking industry. Chick-fil-A, known for its high revenue despite being closed on Sundays, may face a decision regarding its seven locations at service areas in New York. The company's commitment to Sunday closures is rooted in its founder's religious beliefs, and the family intends to honor this tradition. Chick-fil-A's potential as an IPO candidate could bring additional pressure to reconsider its Sunday closure policy.
