A newly proposed bill in the New York State Assembly is challenging Chick-fil-A's tradition of closing on Sundays. The bill mandates that all food vendors at New York State Thruway Authority rest stops operating every day of the week. The rationale of the bill suggests that service areas for travelers should maximize public benefit and availability, arguing that empty retail space on Sundays is both a disservice and an inconvenience to the public.

00:02 A newly proposed bill in the New York State Assembly is challenging Chick-fil-A's tradition
00:06 of closing on Sundays. The bill mandates that all food vendors at New York State
00:10 Thruway Authority rest stops operate every day of the week. The rationale of the bill
00:13 suggests that service areas for travelers should maximize public benefit and availability,
00:18 arguing that an empty retail space on Sundays is both a disservice and an inconvenience to the
00:22 public. Chick-fil-A, which has been maintaining its Sunday closure policy since it opened in 1946,
00:27 currently operates seven restaurants at Thruway Authority-owned rest stops. If passed, the bill
00:31 would affect these existing locations as well as any future contracts with the food chain.
