Chick-fil-A is officially revealing new expansion plans for BC.
The American fast-food chain known for its waffle fries, sweet tea, and of course, chicken and signature Chick-fil-A sauce, shared the crispy-fried announcement with Dished, saying it expects to open five to seven new restaurants in the province by 2030.
This news comes hot on the heels of Chick-fil-A’s recent expansion into Alberta in 2024. The chain launched three new locations in Calgary and Edmonton last year.
Those outposts saw huge opening lines, the hype was so real some excited YYC diners waited a whopping 12 hours outside ahead of the Macleod Trail spot’s launch day.
“We are excited about the opportunity to bring an authentic Chick-fil-A experience to guests in British Columbia, where local Chick-fil-A owner-operators will create hundreds of new jobs, and invest in their teams and local communities,” said Jessica Sisk Roehle, director of restaurant development in Canada for Chick-fil-A.
“The incredible reception Chick-fil-A received when we expanded into Alberta this past year really energized us as we planned our next steps in Canada. British Columbia has a number of vibrant, thriving communities across the province that makes it such a great place for us to grow.”
