Chick-fil-A is opening a new restaurant on Thursday November 21 in Edmonton. Chick-fil-A South Edmonton Common is located at 2060-99 Street NW.
Locally owned and operated by Tom Messick, the South Edmonton Common location will be the company’s second in Edmonton. The new restaurant will employ approximately 100-120 full- and part-time Team Members and will be open for dine-in and drive-thru from 10:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, said the company.
Other highlights:
- In honour of the new restaurant opening, the company said it will donate about C$34,000 (US$25,000) to a local non-profit organization through Second Harvest, one of Canada’s largest food rescue organizations. Since 2020, it has donated about C$2 million (US$1.46 million) to local hunger-relief organizations through Second Harvest.
- Messick’s restaurant will be participating in the Shared TableTM program, an initiative that redirects surplus food from the restaurant to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks and non-profits in need. To date, more than 25 million meals have been created using Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations from 2,200 restaurants throughout Canada and the U.S.
Chick-fil-A said it will expand its long-term investment in Canada, growing to a total of 20 stores in 2024, with plans to open seven to 10 restaurants per year thereafter.
“We are seeking franchise candidates in Canada with an entrepreneurial spirit and a CEO mindset, who are passionate about serving great food and providing exceptional hospitality in a fast-paced environment,” it said.
