Hobby Lobby, Chick-fil-A, and others who choose not to open Sundays pay dearly for their decisions. Not only do they forgo a potentially lucrative day every week, but they surely miss out on some prime locations: most shopping center developers don't want a "dead spot" in their strip center or on their corner outparcel.
But that's fine. Retail operations that choose not to open on Sundays know the effects on their bottom line. Having a government forbid Sunday openings is something else entirely.
Chick-fil-A has been in the business of selling chicken for over fifty years, never losing sight of founder Truet Cathy’s original vision of a restaurant that was quick and friendly, with great food and exceptional customer service. On this foundation, Chick-fil-A has grown to 650 quick-service restaurants across the country, and continues to add 50 to 100 new sites per year.
Fifty years in business, 650 outlets, expanding steadily - doesn't sound like they're hurting too badly.
The people who want to go there would go there Saturday though. I see it as 6 days of business folded into 7.
