There are now three within an hour of me, all of which are under two years old. They've all been crowded whenever I've gone on non-appreciation days, so there was absolutely no way I was going. My family went today and it was still pretty full. The fact is, I know they have support and I would be okay with not going for "appreciation day."
I have yet to understand why it's made so much news. What else do you expect from the owner of a restaurant chain that plays Christian music and is closed on Sundays? lol Besides, nobody's thrown a big deal over the fact that he claims to have invented the chicken sandwich.
