I believe they run the risk of losing their franchise if they open on a Sunday.

Speaking of not being open on Sundays.....I am a Midwesterner that went away to college in the south back in the 70s. Imagine my surprise when on my first Sunday away from home I try to find a place to buy some socks, and find that every single store in town is closed.

They're closed on Sundays at their ATL store, too. I'm sure "closed Sundays" was written into the MSP lease.

Chick-fil-A is a privately held business and part of its corporate purpose statement is "to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us."
The chain vows to never open on Sundays, to give workers time to rest and worship if they choose.
But some of Chick-fil-A's charitable contributions have gotten it into trouble. The company had donated free food to the Pennsylvania Family Institute, prompting any outcry from gay rights groups.

It will be interesting to see if they can maintain the Sunday off policy. I have become friends with a few of the store owners and I'm under the impression that that stores need to be open 7 days a week.
My problem with them booting McDonalds is that you knew they were cooking new burgers. I have a problem with restaurants that pull a precooked patty out of the fridge, build the burger, throw it in the microwave and serve. I have gotten sick from these type of preps.
The other problem is that McDonalds at G1 was open 24 hours. Oftentimes this was the only choice late at night.

I can't tell you how many Sundays I woke up craving their Minis.......
