I like Chick-Fil-A but they are closed on Sunday (goes back to traditual values when alot of business were closed on Sunday) For some time just about any type of business is open on Sunday, Supermakets, Car Dealers, Banks, shopping malls. Do you think they will ever back down to their strong beliefs and open on Sunday.
Also, every chick CFA I've ever been to for lunch and dinner been very crowded. So it's safe to say that most CFA locations would be struggling financially anytime soon.

They are also very restrictive with franchise rights as well.

I always stop at one when travelling if I want a quick meal. The nearest one is 90 miles from my home. I've thought about looking into opening a franchise locally, but then realized I know nothing about running a restaurant. 
I was in ATL on a Sunday and I was curious if they were open. It was in another terminal and I didn't have time to check.

What's the draw?

It's of a far better quality than KFC. No bones in the chicken. It's a completely different taste than KFC or other "fried chicken chains."

They are not targeted against KFC. They do great chicken sandwiches. Think McDonald's Southern Chicken Sandwich but much better. They don't do traditional on the bone fried chicken.

There is a local chain of Tex-Mex restaurants in San Antonio that is closed on Sunday as well. Las Palapas is the name IIRC. Pretty decent food.

The part that freaked me out when I tried the McD's version (the breakfast chicken biscuit) was that it tasted like dill, even though there were no pickles. So not only do they use artificial pickle flavor instead of real pickles, but they're also too cheap to make a non-pickle version for breakfast. Wow.
