It only took a couple of years after Sam Walton died before all Wal-Marts were open on Sunday. It won't be right away, but sooner or later Chik-fil-a will do the same thing.


Dan Cathy has been running the biz for awhile. He is cut from the same mold and is actually the person that got people up in arms about his statements on gay marriage. CFA isn't going to change any time soon with him in charge. Maybe whoever is next will screw it up, but it won't be Dan.

I would take a leap to own a CFA if I could. Great organization!

Why mess with pure perfection? Well, it would be nice if they were open on Sunday, just between Sunday morning and Sunday evening church, if nothing else. But that can be worked around. Except for the waffle fries. Warmed up waffle fries aren't good.

RIP Mr Cathey.

You were the only fast food chain that could keep the chicken from shrinking.

The reason walmart stores where I worked during the 80's was due to blue laws being repealed.

Pretty sure they'll still be closed on Sundays.


If I were them I'd stay closed sundays. It increases the demand for their food and also gives them a unique identity.

Getting some today for lunch in his honor. Chick Fil A might be the GOAT chain business in the US. Definitely number one for customer service. The man built himself an excellent business

yeah, very very stanch hardcore "christian" guy.. went to a baptist college in Birmingham, was / is really involved with that aspect of stuff, way moreso than his dad ever was. He actually "grew" into these beliefs, cause from what I've heard, little Trueee was a free thinker in college, a really really big free thinker

Oh and as far as "The inventor of the chicken sandwich" ... title - I would actually say he was the inventor of the food court and the fast fry chicken before the chicken sandwich.

This.

And makes them the most prestigious of the fast food employers. It's rare to work in fast food and know that you will always have a weekend day off, no matter what.
