Chick-Fil-A closes on Sunday.
Hallelujah.
If more American businesses adopted this policy, Americans might just regain a toe hold on our country and our lives.
Residual influence can be strong.

Chick-Fil-A is a good Tuesday night thing to do if you have kids or g-kids too,
Buy 1 regular meal, get kids 4 or 6 pak nugget meal free (and ice cream). Face painting, balloons figures and clowns too.

When its not kids night, you can usually catch the music playing to be contemporary Christian - I think the whole organization is tight on ethics and good morals :thumbup: :thumbup:

Chick-fil-A is an organization I admire with their stand on Sunday. I remember "the old days" when only a few gas stations were open on Sunday so people usually stayed home, went fishing/swimming, visiting, napping or (of course) go to church. How many people remember the stores closing on Thursday 12:00? They did in Marianna (my home town). If forced a "slower time". Of course I am a hypocrite, because I run the road on Sunday as much as anybody...

Truit is a stand up guy. Corporate learned that a chick fil a in southern Florida stayed open on Sunday. On Monday morning, when the store opened there was a new person in charge of the store.

Founded in the ATL. The chicken is good too! Always heard it was run by Mormons but actually, the founder appears to have been Baptist.

It was founded by Truitt Cathy, a Southern Baptist who still owns contolling interest in the company last I've heard..I doubt the Mormans have had any involvement in it...
