If you live in New York and always seem to be craving <a href="https://www.chick-fil-a.com/franchise?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=nations-restaurant-news-could-chick-fil-a-finally-be-open-on-sundays-2724521" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Chick-fil-A</a> on Sunday, you may be in luck. A group of New York lawmakers introduced a bill that would require restaurants in a travel plaza along the state’s Thruway system to be open seven days a week.&nbsp;The bill would impact nine Chick-fil-A restaurants that currently operate in these types of plazas along Interstate 90 in the state. Since its founding, Chick-fil-A has famously been closed on Sundays.&nbsp;“The traveling public and commercial trucking industry rely on these service areas to rest, refuel, and to purchase food and beverages,” the bill noted. “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. 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 travers who rely on these service areas.”Additionally, the bill noted that all future contracts will require food concessions to operate seven days a week. Before it heads to the governor's desk, the legislation must pass both houses of the legislature.&nbsp;Read the full article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nrn.com/operations/ny-bill-could-require-some-chick-fil-restaurants-open-sundays?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=nations-restaurant-news-could-chick-fil-a-finally-be-open-on-sundays-2724521" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp;Related Articles:&nbsp;<ul><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-does-a-chick-fil-a-franchise-cost-2715278">How Much Does a Chick-fil-A Franchise Cost?</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/this-10000-chick-fil-a-franchise-is-making-millions-and-you-can-too-2720766#stories">This $10,000 Chick-fil-A Franchise is Making Millions and You Can Too</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/3-chick-fil-a-franchise-alternatives-for-2023-2721870#most-recent-stories">3 Chick-fil-A Franchise Alternatives for 2023</a></li></ul>
