Our founder, Truett Cathy, made the decision to close on Sundays in 1946 when he opened his first restaurant in Hapeville, Georgia.

Sure, it may be a bummer when you have a chicken sandwich craving after church, but it’s generally seen as a respectable move that leaves a lot of profits on the table because of the observation of timeless values.
However, another fried chicken chain—Zaxby’s—decided to make fun of the practice in a new ad. The commercial doesn’t say anything really about a superior product, just that they are open on Sundays. It’s an odd move that’s facing some blowback on Twitter.
You can see the ad above.
