NEW: Chick-fil-A plans to open in Ottawa as part of its Canadian expansion. ottnews
U.S.-based fast food chain Chick-fil-A plans to come to Canada’s capital in the coming years.
The chain, which specializes in chicken sandwiches, announced Wednesday that it aims to open more than a dozen new stores by 2025, expanding to 20 Canadian locations, including in Vaughan, Barrie and Toronto's Eaton Centre.“Chick-fil-A also expects to continue its expansion into new Canadian markets in the coming years, including Ottawa and the province of Alberta,” a news release says.
Chick-fil-A currently has restaurants in Windsor, Kitchener, Toronto, Scarborough, Concord, and North York. The restaurant chain has been controversial. CEO Dan Cathy said in 2012 that the company supports "the biblical definition of the family unit." He repeated his stance in a 2018 TV interview but said he is not anti-gay. Critics have also pointed to corporate donations to groups opposed to same-sex marriage.
