A Proposed New York Bill Seeks To Require Some Chick-fil-A Restaurants To Open Seven Days A Week

A just lately launched laws within the New York State Meeting seeks to compel sure Chick-fil-A shops to perform day-after-day of the week.

The proposed laws ensures that vacationers and commuters counting on these rest-stop amenities have constant entry to meals and beverage choices all through the week. If handed, the Relaxation Cease Restaurant Act may considerably influence the operational schedules of contracted institutions alongside the Thruway and on the Port Authority in New York and New Jersey.

“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 invoice reads. “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.”

The only exemption from the requirement for seven-day-a-week operations stipulated within the new laws pertains to “temporary concessions, such as farmers markets or local vendors.”

Since its institution in 1946, Chick-fil-A has maintained a practice of closing its places each Sunday. With a nationwide presence of three,000 shops, the corporate presently manages seven eating places beneath the possession of New York’s Thruway Authority. The potential influence of the proposed laws extends to all forthcoming contracts, signaling a shift within the operational practices of Chick-fil-A shops related to the Thruway Authority in New York.
