This morning, a high-ranking Chick-Fil-A employee leaked the news to a small group of bloggers that the restaurant will soon open seven days a week. (Silent scream!) Historically, the famed Southern chicken chain has adamantly refused to open on Sundays, citing a conflict with its Christian values, but widespread customer demand, impending expansion plans, and a still-flagging economy have caused executives to reconsider that policy. “Our customers have been asking for this for a long time, and we just can’t say no any longer,” the source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, explained. The expanded hours will apply to each of the company’s 1,546 locations.
In addition to a special Sunday menu featuring new options like chicken and waffles and a brunch buffet (biscuits after 10:30AM!), each Chick-Fil-A location will offer a nondenominational worship service, as well. “We want to cater to the before, during, and after church crowd,” the source explained. No additional details have been released, and a press spokesperson refused to comment. For more news on this developing story, check back . . . next April Fool's Day.
Almost got me.
Don’t do that.
Well played!
Actually sounds like a decent idea.
If our mega churches look like Six Flags over Jesus, why not have some fast food grub too...
LOL. You got me.
It will probably happen...someday. The Lakeland FL-based Publix supermarket chain was never open on Sunday while founder, icon, and hardcore Baptist George Jenkins was alive, but within a year of his passing, that went out the window.
Truett Cathy was the George Jenkins of Chick-fil-A, but the main reason the Sunday rule hasn’t changed is that the company went straight to his son Dan, who is a younger version of his father. Someday a generation will arise who will not remember Joshua.
April Fools!
So funny. I wanted to believe it. Many times after mass, we’ll run to the mall and of course would love to eat at chick fil A. But alas, it’s closed. Oh well.
People need to eat on Sundays just as they need prescriptions on Sunday so I'm not sure I have a problem with this announcement.They do need to make it clear that nobody will be forced to work on Sunday,however...that could be seen as a violation of Christian values.
hook line and sinker!!
April Fools? Oh,c’mon!
check your calendar
That was a good one.
LOL! They should have gone all the way and said that the COO had died and that a band of homoFasicists had taken over the company.
e.g. Add matzo-balls and kosher pickles. What's more Jewish than chicken and matzo?
Chick-Fil-A is not opening on Sundays. It’s an April Fools Day joke.
Just went to Chick-Fil-A web site and I can’t scroll down ,D’oh
Hah hah! The FOOL has said in his heart there is no God! (There are no atheists... just fools!)
FIFY.
