As Truett Cathy was growing up, all businesses were closed on Sundays. He was always so grateful for the day of rest because he and his brother, Ben, switched everyday rotating working 12-hour shifts. When the mall where his first store was located began to open on Sundays, Truety decided that Chick-fil-A would stay closed. The decision would affect Chick-fil-A's reputation more than any other. Some people praise Chick-fil-A and others are just plain confused.
Not opening on Sundays has even prevented Chick-fil-A from being able to open in specific malls that have a seven day a week contract with businesses within the mall. Most people can't believe a business would miss out on an opportunity for making more money. Chick-fil-A wants to give their employees and equipment a rest. It is also just the right thing to do. Truett Cathy tells customers, "You can eat with us six days out of a week, and I will give you permission to eat somewhere else on Sundays.".
Tim Hawkins, a comedian, drew attention worldwide when he sang a song about Chick-fil-A being closed on Sundays. The song is posted below. The Chick-fil-A stores in DFW want to reward some of their raving fans by feeding them dinner and taking them to a Tim Hawkins concert this weekend. Each store is taking six raving fans to the concert this weekend. Find out more about Tim Hawkins at his website: http://www.timhawkins.net/
