There are no chick fil-a's in Michigan, so I'm always glad to have one in an airport. As for the Sundays thing, don't buy into the franchise if you don't agree with them being open on Sundays. I applaud chick fila for putting conviction over profit, and they seem to do just fine.

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.
It was explained by my fellow students that the stores were closed because of the "Blue Laws." Sundays were to be a day of rest for everyone, and subsequently businesses were closed on that day. People didn't shop; they went to the park, went to church, or otherwise just annoyed one another.
I revisited that town on a Sunday last summer, and saw that many of the businesses were closed. I don't think that it was blue laws so much as obamanonomics.

Both, though it can be hard to tell why. I am told that a lot of businesses just don't get the foot traffic to stay open 7 days a week. WalMart would be the exception, I am sure.
I worked in dine-in fast food when I was younger, and Sunday was a slow day for sure, with Mondays being the slowest. Friday lunch was always the busiest.
