Burger King is the latest restaurant chain to tease Chick-fil-A for being closed on Sundays and to face the wrath of Chick-fil-A’s customers
Burger King posted a simple message on its Twitter account Friday that was immediately taken as a reference to Chick-fil-A and even to Kanye’s new Chick-fil-A-themed song, Closed on Sunday, which was released the same day.

“open on sunday,” the Burger King tweet read.
Chick-fil-A’s restaurants have been closed on Sundays since founder Truett Cathy opened his first restaurant in 1946.
“Having worked seven days a week in restaurants open 24 hours, Truett saw the importance of closing on Sundays so that he and his employees could set aside one day to rest and worship if they choose – a practice we uphold today,” Chick-fil-A’s website says.
The top comments on Burger King’s Twitter feed were from Chick-fil-A fans.
“And Chick-fil-a still outsells Burger King with a 6-day week @BurgerKing,” one person wrote.
Chick-fil-A is the third-largest fast-food restaurant chain in the U.S. in sales and ranks ahead of Burger King, which is No. 6.
Kanye’s new song includes the line, “Closed on Sunday / you my Chick-fil-A. You’re my number one / with the lemonade. Raise our sons / train them in the faith. Through temptations / make sure they’re wide awake. Follow Jesus / listen and obey. No more livin’ for the culture / we nobody’s slave.”
