New York has just introduced a bill that would require restaurants that operate in a travel plaza along the state's Thruway system to be open every day of the week. This would affect Chick-Fil-A.
Since its founding in 1946, Chick-Fil-A has kept its doors closed on Sundays so employees can go to church and be with their families. All restaurants are also closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Nine of their locations will be impacted by this bill.
The bill reads....
"The traveling public and commercial trucking industry rely on these service areas to rest, refuel and to purchase food and beverages."
"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. Publicly owned service areas should use their space to maximally benefit the public. 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."
