Chick-fil-A Forced Shut Down by Plumbing Theft

A Chick-fil-A in Portsmouth, Virginia, shut down mid-morning after thieves stole its critical backflow device — a one-way valve essential for clean water and operations. With over 2,000 daily customers, the sudden halt meant no handwashing, dish cleaning, or breakfast biscuits. While some customers were frustrated, most stayed patient and returned later. This isn’t the first time the location has faced bizarre thefts — including furniture and prior tampering — and now neighbors like Valvoline are also victims. Owner Will Taylor is now scrambling to secure his business against future attacks on vital infrastructure. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
