Gallon-sized Cokes will help keep patrons awake at least…

As of 2021, the owner, Dan Cathy, is still actively involved with groups such as the National Christian Foundation, an organization "spearheading the derailment of the Equality Act".

As a reminder this^ is the topic of this thread.

Inquiry: is there anything to the rumor that Chick fil A will be serving food in the cafeteria at LDS temples?

The rumor that Chick-fil-A will be serving food in the cafeterias at LDS temples is not true. This story originated from an April Fools’ joke published on April 1, 2025, by LDS Daily and spread on social media platforms and forums. The joke described a fictional partnership between Chick-fil-A and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to reopen temple cafeterias with a special menu, but this was intended as satire and not an actual announcement.

Multiple online discussions have clarified that the story was a prank, with many users noting the publication date and context. There is no official statement from either Chick-fil-A or the Church confirming such a partnership, and no credible news outlets have reported this as fact.

The only real Chick-fil-A news related to "Temple" is the opening of a new Chick-fil-A restaurant in Temple, Texas, which is unrelated to LDS temples or their cafeterias.

In summary, the rumor about Chick-fil-A serving food in LDS temple cafeterias is an April Fools’ joke and not based on reality.

On this thread is a discussion about the Church monetising it’s cafeterias by franchising them to Chik Fil A. Whilst researching for that thread I came across something relevant to this discussion…

As of 2021, the owner, Dan Cathy, is still actively involved with groups such as the National Christian Foundation, an organization "spearheading the derailment of the Equality Act".

Perhaps the temple franchises are Dan’s reward for pushing forward the Church’s agenda whilst they maintain plausible deniability.

That's what gets me. So much effort is put into pretending they are something they are not, when they clearly don't believe that thing. They still want to be a peculiar people but they don't want others to think they are a peculiar people. So much deception.
