And the hits just keep on coming for Atlanta

The revenue from 52 lost days of business is irrelevant to CFA. The company places values above monetary gain.NO one's 'opinion' will move them from their stance and I for one appreciate a company that delivers quality products, POLITE service and gives back to it's community.

I know what they stand for, and I happen to stand with them. But business is still business. If a regular location wants to shut down on Sundays, that's perfectly fine and not a big deal. When you have a location in a building that is only open part time, it makes no sense. Why not just open another restaurant in a normal location that can be open 6 days a week, and have Sunday off, instead of going through the trouble of opening one up in a stadium and closing the restaurant on the stadium's busiest days?

I don't think this is an unreasonable question. I'm not taking anything away from Chick-fil-A, as a whole. But this particular instance just doesn't add up.

I think someone might have touched upon it earlier ... marketing. They are getting tons of free publicity.

I suppose, yeah. That seems like something that's more important for companies that need the attention, and not something that's already well known like Chick-fil-A. Whatever, though. They're going to do what they're going to do.

Also, to consider:

* Chick-Fil-A is moving its College Kickoff games to the Clowndome.
* Its sponsored bowl, the Peach Bowl, will also take place there
* College Gameday is moving there too.
* The Clowndome has employees who work a regular work week too.
* The stadium is set up to be a convention center.

And who knows, may be that CFA makes an exception and opens on Sunday during Clown game days.

So put your imaginary MBAs away.
