Chick-fil-A will maintain its policy of closing on Sundays

Chick-fil-A chief executive Andrew Cathy told NBC News in an interview that the fast-food chain will remain closed on Sundays. Fox News reported that Cathy described the Sunday closure policy as non-negotiable and said he has never calculated the revenue lost by keeping restaurants closed on that day. [1]

The Sunday closure policy dates back to the founding of the company in 1946. Fox News reported that Cathy explained the original founders operated 24 hours a day for six days a week and wanted a break to attend church and rest, which was common practice in the 1940s. [1]
