Rumors are spreading that New York state is forcing Chick-fil-A to remain open on seven days a week. Despite what Sen. Lindsey Graham and other Republican lawmakers have suggested, New York is not forcing Chick-fil-A to open on Sundays. If the bill is passed, it could mean Chick-fil-A restaurants that wanted to open new locations at highway rest areas would have to agree to open on Sundays. AdvertisementA state highway official told PIX11 News affiliate WTEN that Chick-fil-A already has a 33-year contract with the state highway system. But proponents of the bill note that no one is forcing Chick-fil-A to open restaurants at state-run highway rest stops.

In three months, Trump faces a civil fraud trial that could run his Trump Organization out of New York.
