New York Lawmakers Introduce Legislation That Would Force Chick-fil-A to Stay Open on Sundays
New York state lawmakers have introduced legislation that would require businesses along the New York State Thruway to stay open every day, including Sundays.
The New York State Assembly’s Rest Stop Restaurant Act would apply to Chick-fil-A, which is famously closed on Sundays.
The bill claims that being closed on Sundays is a “disservice and unnecessary inconvenience to travelers.”
“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,” the bill states, in part. “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.”
There are no religious exemptions,
