Lawmakers in the Empire State want to make sure drivers in New York can have Chick-fil-A whenever they want — even on Sundays.

Assemblymember Tony Simone, a Democrat whose district includes Chelsea, the theater district, and business-heavy midtown Manhattan, has proposed legislation that would require food-service companies at rest areas and transportation facilities along the New York State Thruway — a nearly 500 miles long stretch of road that connects New York City to Buffalo — to be open seven days a week.

This requirement would require the beloved fast-food chain — which famously closes on Sundays so employees could “rest or worship if they choose” — to make a major change to its operations.
