The only reason people know about their viewpoints is because people who DON'T like them point them out. CFA isn't an in your face company.
And they will serve ANYONE who walks through the door.
I agree to a certain extent.
Let's take another conservative food chain in comparison.
Domino's Pizza.
No problems (even in the UK)... why?
Because the chain itself doesn't fund nor support politics on either side.
Their founders, using their own personal wealth, absolutely do support conservative platforms including anti-abortion and pro-life platforms. They seem very careful about keeping it discreetly separate from their business dealings. Yes.. their choice (am all for that) but it is a contrast difference between how CFA chooses to fund its political conservative actions.
As someone already pointed out, CFA's success in certain areas is in part of their politics. Take the bad with the good in that business decision.

CFA is closed on Sundays.
If Domino's was closed on Sundays, I'd expect the same exact response from those who are protesting CFA (to be targeting Domino's).

Perhaps....
Up here, there are many businesses that are closed on Sundays as well as whole areas that abide by blue laws. I personally don't have a problem with it... religious reasons or not.
I am not convinced that people assume that being closed on Sundays equates to political/religious activism.... I've never seen it but that, of course, is anecdotal observation. I'm not religious myself but I also don't find religion nor religious people threatening.

For a major chain to be closed on a Sunday denotes religion.
And you don't know there wasn't. Maybe you should stop talking about things you know nothing about like operating commercial real estate.
You made the unsubstantiated claim that this was because of government restricting freedom of commerce. If you are making that claim you need to provide some evidence to back it up. If you have none then the claim can readily be dismissed.
A mall operator is not going to want to be boycotted and see protests every day because of one chicken restaurant, they would prefer to just end the lease of the chicken restaurant, no cloak and dagger conspiracy explanation required.
Don’t LGBT folks eat chickin? I thought they were just like straights except for some things.
Funny thing, the first time I was introduced to Chick Fila, was by a gay co-worker. He's gotten some beef for it from some of his peers, but he likes to say, his stomach is more important than his sexual orientation.

I may be wrong in this case. So dismiss away! However, I am in this business and yes governments do pressure private businesses to do stuff. I have no evidence of this. Just speculation on my part from 35 years in the industry.
Good. Nobody wants your Christian belief chicken sandwich wackiness.
Europeans are pretty smart to these religious platforms.
This guy is right about those Christian sandwiches. Chick-fil-A is widely known as being the most effective evangelization tool since Saint Paul wrote his epistles. Merely eating their waffle fries is enough to lead a person to repent of his sins and trust in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Drinking their lemonade is enough to cause one to accept the historic doctrine of the Holy Trinity. And eating one of their chicken sandwiches leads directly to accepting the doctrine of Christ's sinless birth by the Virgin Mary.
And the fact that they are closed on Sundays forces passersby, even agnostics, to immediately go to their nearest church and beg for forgiveness.
At least, this is how the radical leftists seem to see them. Of course, they hate Christianity with a passion, so it stands to reason that anything with even the slightest connection to the faith will inflame their intolerant anger.
