Chick-fil-A Opens on Sunday for Texas Tornado Victims

Chick-fil-A made an exception and opened its doors on Sunday to allow volunteers to work to help victims of the deadly tornadoes in Texas.

Some of the locations in northeast Texas opened in order to help those who were victims of the tornadoes and those who were helping them. The stores were not open to the public.

Founder Truett Cathy opened his first restaurant in 1946. Chick-fil-A is based in Atlanta and has been closed on Sundays since its creation.

The company policy is designed to allow employees to rest and be with family, and attend a house of worship if they desire.

As reported by CNBC, a spokeswoman for the food chain told the media outlet, “The locations were not open to the public, but team members from various restaurants in the area did volunteer to prepare and distribute free food to responders and others affected by the tornadoes, serving those in need during this tragic event.”

First job for all three of our daughters. All of whom married conservative, honorable Christian men. None of whom grew up to be bed wetting liberals.

This Texas couple loves their sandwiches. When out and about at lunch time, we always top at ChicFilA and no matter what time we stop, countless cars are waiting in line to order and pick up. The employees are friendly and the best hired. The food is delicious. A First in Texas, Top Notch facility. Go ChicFilA!!! Thanks for being here in Texas!

I don’t eat it, I don’t feed it to my family and I wouldn’t even feed it to a dog.

Problem solved along time ago, way before your suggestion.

A+ to Chick-fil-A corporate.
F- Total fail to Chick-fil-A food.

Well, that’s too bad the food at that location doesn’t meet your expectations.

I have a Chick-fil-A about 2 miles from my house. The food and service has always been above average, so I go there regularly.

It varies. One in south Louisville has superior food. I guess partly management and partly the fact that they have a heavy continuous traffic so the food is always hot and fresh.

We found ourselves staying at the Westin Hotel adjoining the Houston Galleria a year or so ago....that hotel - surprisingly - has no restaurant, so it was the mall's food court for us, since we weren't about to brave any more Houston traffic than needed.

Never having been to a Chick-Fil-A before (none anywhere near us in south Kalifornia), I had my first chiggin sammich from there, and it was super.........and the line at that outlet dwarfed all the other outlets.

It’s the best by far. No to Kentucky fried $20 WTH!! A current ad on teevee depicts the colonel picking up a bucket for dinner -Very pricey! Churchs Fried chicken has so much batter on it, it over powers the chicken.

Nice to know Texas repaid the favor. We, because of Cal. had the ‘burgers to go’ experience for the first time last year at In and Out Burgers. Remind me of the old soda fountain burgers found in Drug Stores...when they were first drug stores about umpteen years ago. Won’t ask you how much Houston was enjoyed. I know, I’ve been there before. Living just north of Dallas now - out in the boondocks of Texas not far from Oklahoma. Hope you were able to see parts of the state that make us proud!

“and neither are most xians since they tend to desecrate it completely,....”

What are “xians”? Is that supposed to be Christians? That’s disgusting.

In-N-Out right here in La Quinta will be opening in just a few weeks - as it is, we run over to Indio when we get the "urge"; they're far and away the best burger around.

Texas treated us fine, thank you. We enjoyed overnighting in San Antonio, and lucked out that our Hampton Inn was easy walking distance from both the Alamo and River Walk.

I'd been to the Alamo probably 50 years ago as a kid, but the surrounding area was entirely different then.
