evidence: Not About Jesus: The Truth Behind Chick-fil-A's Sunday Policy "Thou shalt not eat Chick-fil-A on Sunday." [...] In our current politically charged climate -- where major brands are forced to either shut the heck up or choose a side, stick with it, and suffer through boycotts and backlash -- Chick-fil-A has always veered to the right, even if it's "unofficially." And the company's late founder, Truett Cathy -- a noted and oft-outspoken Christian -- implemented the policy in question himself: Chick-fil-A has never been open on Sunday, and never will be. [...] Chick-fil-A franchises have been known to open on Sundays for altruistic endeavors like feeding first responders during natural disasters, for example. But perhaps the most notable example of specific stores choosing to "open" on Sundays to donate food happened in the wake of the Orlando Pulse nightclub shootings. Multiple Orlando locations made national news by opening on a Sunday to help feed those who donated blood after the mass-shooting.
