Owners of the Oracle centre in Reading will not renew Chic-fil-A’s six-month lease, claiming it is the ‘right thing to do’. In 2012 the restaurant’s CEO, Dan Cathy, stated that the company supported the ‘biblical definition of the family unit’. It donated money to Christian charities that support traditional marriage.
