A New York bill would attempt to force Chick-Fil-A locations to be open on Sunday.
_____________________________________

FTA -
“The bill would “ensure that all future contracts for food concessions at transportation facilities owned by the Thruway Authority... be required to operate seven days a week, with an exclusion to temporary concessions such as farmers markets or local vendors.” According to the Democrat & Chronicle, that means Chick-fil-A wouldn’t immediately be forced to open on Sundays at locations in New York’s Service Area Redesign and Redevelopment project, but the law would apply to future food service agreements.””

The article also states that the bill’s sponsor believes -
“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.”

Maybe a clever lawyer for Chick-Fil-A will make the case that the DMV, which sells licenses and registrations, falls under this premise and is arguably more important to NY citizens than Chick-Fil-A. NYS should beware the law of unintended consequences.

It seems that Chick-fil-a’s lease runs out some 33 more years. They will most likely outlive the genius who wrote the busybody bill. Don’t be hongry for a chicken burger at a NY Thruway, on Sunday, for another 33 years.
