Dozens of people lined up outside Chick-fil-A at Ottawa’s Tanger Outlets on Thursday, as the U.S.-based fast food outlet opened its first location in the capital.
The lineup formed hours before the Chick-fil-A restaurant opened at 10:30 a.m.
This is the 15th Chick-fil-A in Canada, as the company continues ito expand across the country.
It will be open for dine-in, drive-thru and pickup from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Chick-fil-A restaurants are always closed on Sunday. The company says Chick-fil-A restaurants are closed on Sundays to “give team members the opportunity to rest, enjoy time with their families and worship if they choose.”
Chick-fil-A says to mark the opening of the new restaurant, it will donate $34,000 to a local non-profit organization through Second Harvest.
A second Chick-fil-A restaurant is set to open later this year at the Rideau Centre.
