Hey Wanderers!
It's official – Chick-fil-A is opening its doors in Calgary, and today’s the big day!
Whether you're a dedicated fan of their famous chicken sandwich or totally new to the Chick-fil-A experience, this is an opening you won’t want to miss. Located at 9223 Macleod Trail SW, this is the first Chick-fil-A in Calgary and a much-anticipated addition to the city’s food scene.
A Calgary First: The Story Behind the Opening
What makes this opening extra special? It’s all about the local touch. Calgary’s Chick-fil-A is independently owned and operated by Rob Bourassa, someone who’s excited to bring more than just great food to the community. Rob and his team have plans to make an impact, from creating around 100 local jobs to supporting nearby organizations. In fact, to celebrate the opening, Chick-fil-A is donating $34,000 to Second Harvest to aid local hunger relief efforts – a gesture that makes this more than just a new place to eat.
What to Expect at the Calgary Location
Calgary’s Chick-fil-A will serve up the chain’s classics – yes, the beloved chicken sandwich and waffle fries are on the menu – alongside a few extra perks. Besides its dine-in and drive-thru options, the restaurant has a brand-new look and a welcoming vibe that feels both fast-paced and friendly. They’re all about quality, using fresh ingredients and offering some of the best customer service in the industry.
Oh, and if you’re into supporting sustainable practices, this location participates in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table™ program, which donates surplus food to local shelters and food banks. It’s heartwarming to see a brand making a difference right where they’re planted.
