The Chick-fil-A Inside Of Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium Will Remain CLOSED Super Bowl Sunday

Chick-fil-A is one of my favorite fast food restaurants, but– believe it or not– I haven’t really indulged since high school. (“Health” and whatever.) That all changed last month. My sister and I were driving around and randomly decided it had been far too long, so we waited in line for 20 minutes (the Chick-fil-A in our town is always POPPIN’) and ordered fries with Chick-fil-A sauce and a Peppermint Chocolate Chip Milkshake.

It was the best parking lot snack ever. It felt so bad, yet so RIGHT.

So yeah. Big fan of Chick-fil-A.

For those who don’t know, the chain is actually in Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium– where the Super Bowl is taking place. But I’m sorry to say that the Chick-fil-A in that location is sticking to its guns and remaining closed.

Sources connected to the fast-food chain tell us the Chick-fil-A stand inside Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium — where Super Bowl LIII will be played in a couple weeks — will, in fact, remain closed on Feb. 3 … just like every other Sunday before it.

We’re told that although the MBS location won’t be open, Chick-fil-A is still one of the corporate sponsors for the Atlanta Super Bowl Host Committee … and our sources say CfA is happy to be there in spirit and through its donation to JFK Park.

I totally respect their decision, but I also can’t help but think that it’s a little nuts, because that would be a potentially HUGE money-making day. I know, I know. It’s not all about the money. Chick-fil-A has values, and that’s why we love ’em, but dang! That’s commitment.

It doesn’t seem to make sense to have a Chick-fil-A in a football stadium, right? I mean, games are almost always on SUNDAYS, hello.

They have an explanation:

BTW- I’m about to change your life.

You’re welcome.
