Chick-fil-A, famed for never opening on Sundays and will likely never be, has made an exception.

The fast food chain is stepping in to feed passengers left affected by the Atlanta airport blackout, according to the City of Atlanta.

They'll be served at the Georgia International Convention Center, where they are able to stay overnight, which is a pretty nice consolation given what some of these people have gone through.

The City of Atlanta has mobilized the Georgia International Convention Center and will provide shuttle services for anyone who needs a place to stay for the night. @ChickfilA will provide food for passengers.

It's a remarkable aberration from the company's policy on Sunday trading hours, rooted in founder Truett Cathy's devout Christian beliefs.

The policy remains the same at the Chick-fil-A in the newly opened Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Its main tenant, the Atlanta Falcons, will only play one regular season game that doesn't fall on a Sunday.

As of 11:30 p.m. EST, there were 2,000 meals served to passengers, according to Atlanta's mayor Kasim Reed. See, this is how bad it has to get for Chick-Fil-A to open on a Sunday.


Great story. They broke their policy of not serving food on Sundays to help the thousands stranded in Atlanta this weekend.

Funny thing, I took my son Christmas shopping yesterday (he's 5), and he wanted to go to Chick Fil-A while we were out. I told him they're not open on Sundays. His response was "well they need to get over that Sunday thing"

I fucking died
