Chick-fil-A to open its first restaurants outside the US
Chick-fil-A said in a statement that these will be the company’s first franchisee-owned restaurants outside of the United States.
“Toronto is a great city – with diverse and caring people, a vibrant restaurant culture and a deep talent pool,” said Tim Tassopoulos, president and chief operating officer, Chick-fil-A. “These characteristics align perfectly with Chick-fil-A’s focus on community giving, delivering a premium restaurant experience and working with passionate people who can grow with our company.”
Chick-fil-A is currently recruiting Operators for its Greater Toronto Area (GTA) locations. The company said it offers "a low economic barrier to entry for ownership ($15,000 compared to $100,000 - $300,000 for many Canadian franchises)".
With the GTA expansion, the company plans to open at least 15 restaurants in the next five years and estimates it will create 50 to 75 new jobs per location.
Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A, Inc. is a family owned and privately held restaurant company founded in 1967 by S. Truett Cathy. The company owns more than 2,300 restaurants in 47 states and Washington, D.C.
Chick-fil-A reported more than $9 billion in revenue in 2017, which marked 50 consecutive years of sales growth.
