CV NEWS FEED // Some Chick-fil-A restaurants in New York may be forced to remain open on Sundays.
New York state legislatures have introduced a bill that may force some of the Christian-founded chain restaurants located at rest stops along Interstate 90 to remain open on Sundays.
The bill was sponsored by Tony Simone (D, NY-75), a Manhattan representative.
According to local reports, the bill would “require food services at transportation facilities and rest areas to remain open seven days a week.”
The bill asserts that establishments dedicated to travelers which close on a particular day of the week are at an “inappropriate location.”
“There is nothing objectionable about a fast food restaurant closing on a particular day of the week,” the bill stated, adding: “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.”
Chick-fil-A has not issued a response yet.
