A New York lawmaker has introduced a bill that would require restaurants within rest stops on the Thruway and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to be open seven days a week. The latest legislation specifically targets nine Chick-fil-A restaurants that all operate inside New York travel plazas.
Chick-Fil-A, the largest fast-food chain specializing in chicken sandwiches, is famously closed on Sundays “to allow Operators and their team members to enjoy a day of rest, be with their families and loved ones, and worship if they choose,” per company policy. Chick-Fil-A has followed this policy since it opened its first restaurant in 1946.
