U.S. Airport Bans Chick-Fil-A
By The Blaze. Chick-fil-A does not have a place in San Antonio International Airport because of what the city council calls the restaurant’s “legacy of anti-LGBTQ” behaviors. . .
Councilman Robert Treviño told the station that the council made the decision based on inclusivity.
“With this decision, the City Council reaffirmed the work our city has done to become a champion of equality and inclusion,” he said. “San Antonio is a city full of compassion, and we do not have room in our public facilities for a business with a legacy of anti-LGBTQ behavior.” . . .
A restaurant representative expressed their disappointment in the decision in a statement provided to Fox News.
“The press release issued by Council Member Treviño was the first we heard of his motion and its approval by the San Antonio City Council,” the spokesperson said. “We agree with him that everyone is and should feel welcome at Chick-fil-A. We have a fundamental code of conduct at Chick-fil-A: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” (Read more from “U.S. Airport Bans Chick-Fil-A” HERE)

Smoke Shack, Spurs and Others Coming to San Antonio International; Chick-Fil-A Blocked
By KTSA. Some familiar local brands will be making their way into San Antonio International Airport’s Terminal A, but one local favorite has been banned by the city council.
The city council approved a contract Thursday with Paradies Lagardere to run and manage the concessions in the terminal. It is a seven-year contract with three one-year extension options that is guaranteed to generate $2.1 million in revenue for the city.
The deal would bring brands like Smoke Shack, Local Coffee, Sip, The Luxury, and Boss Bagels and Coffee. The agreement, as recommended by the city staff, also included a Chick-Fil-A in the airport.
The staff’s original consideration was to have a Panda Express, but staff went to Chick-Fil-A instead because of its popularity and health food considerations. (Read more from “Smoke Shack, Spurs and Others Coming to San Antonio International; Chick-Fil-A Blocked” HERE)
