Consumers can receive a full refund by contacting empower brands online.
Everyone knows that Chick-Fil-A is closed on Sundays. It’s been that way since the chain first opened in 1946. New York wants to change that. A bill has been introduced in New York could affect Chick-Fil-A locations at rest stops along Interstate 90 in New York State. The new bill would require food services at transportation facilities and rest areas to remain open seven days a week. The bill goes on to say that “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 … 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.” So far, no comment from Chick-fil-A.
