Chick-fil-A lovers know there’s one day a week they can’t satisfy their craving, but the popular chain made a rare exception and opened on a Sunday for one special customer in Alabama.
Elijah Sprague, who has autism, wanted to celebrate his 14th birthday at his favorite Mobile restaurant by fulfilling his dream of working the drive-thru.

Sprague’s uncle, Walt Gilstrap, happens to be the general manager at the chain, so he and the owner decided to fulfill the boy’s wish by opening the restaurant on Sunday, WKRG reports.

About 40 cars with Sprague’s friends came to the drive-thru, receiving a cookie from the birthday boy himself. He later celebrated with everyone inside the restaurant with a cookie cake.
