ATLANTA, GA. (THECOUNT) — The Chick-fil-A located inside Atlanta Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the site of upcoming Super Bowl LIII, will be closed that Sunday, and every Sunday, as do all of its other locations.
The popular “save a cow, eat a chicken,” chain told TMZ that they will remain closed on Feb. 3, just like every other Sunday before it.

TMZ reports:
“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 CfA is happy to be there in spirit and through its donation to JFK Park. Much to the chagrin of foodies everywhere, Chick-fil-A notoriously closes up shop on Sundays to give employees a much-needed day off to be with family or go to church.” source.
Estimates say the eatery could rake in upward of $500,000 by staying closed at that location on that day.
This guy says they’ve sold as many as 5,000 sandwiches in one night. Considering Super Bowl stadiums have hit 100,000-plus attendees in recent years … that’s a potential $409,000 Chick-fil-A is losing out on if everyone bought just one of their basic sandwiches.
Chick-fil-A is a rapidly growing fast food restaurant chain headquartered in the city of College Park, Georgia, specializing in chicken sandwiches, according to wikipedia.
