When the company isn’t busy being marred by controversy in the wake of homophobic comments, they happen to cook some pretty damn great fried chicken sandwiches –so we hear.
In a statement, CEO Tim Tassopoulos commented on the company’s decision to bring their chain to Ontario’s capital. “Toronto is a great city – with diverse and caring people and a vibrant restaurant culture with a deep talent pool,” he said.
“These strengths align perfectly with Chick-fil-A’s focus on community giving, delivering a premium product, and working with passionate people that can grow with our company – making Toronto the perfect choice for international expansion.”

Chick-Fil-A plans on opening 15 franchised stores in the GTA over the next five years, a move they say will create somewhere between 50-75 jobs per location. The first Toronto location is expected to open sometime in 2019.
