Cheese lovers rejoice. Chick-fil-A Mac & Cheese is officially joining the Canadian menu as the second permanent addition since the brand’s first restaurant opened in 2019.
Starting March 17, Mac & Cheese will be available to be enjoyed on its own or as a side option
with any entrée, Kid’s Meal or catering order at all Chick-fil-A locations in Canada.
“Baked in-restaurant throughout the day, Chick-fil-A Mac & Cheese is a creamy classic including a
blend of cheeses – Grana Padano, Parmigiano Reggiano, Asiago, Pecorino Romano and Cheddar – mixed with macaroni noodles and other ingredients. Topped with a crispy, toasted crust of baked Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese – it’s a perfect combination of flavour and texture the whole family is sure to love,” said the restaurant chain.
“As the most requested menu item since we opened our first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Canada, we’re pleased to introduce this classic, comfort item to our guests,” said Gaana Nagaraj, Culinary Lead for International Restaurant Experience. “We’ve taken classic Mac & Cheese flavours and crafted a special recipe for the Canadian market that is sure to delight our guests.”
Starting March 17, Chick-fil-A Mac & Cheese will be available to be enjoyed on its own (in small, medium and large size) or as a side option with any entrée, Kid’s Meal or catering order at all locations in Canada.
The brand is also helping guests escape to the tropics and look forward to spring with new Pineapple Dragonfruit seasonal beverages, available starting on March 17, for a limited time.
Additionally, three new restaurants will open in Alberta by this spring, continuing the brand’s plan to open 20 restaurants across the province by 2030. The three restaurants will create approximately 330 jobs combined and will offer dine-in, take-out, and drive-thru service.
- Chick-fil-A Sunwapta West, located at 10175-186 St. NW. in Edmonton, AB., will be opening on Thursday, March 20. Locally owned and operated by Mayur Raj, the restaurant will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
- Chick-fil-A The Meadows, located at 2040 38th Ave. NW. in Edmonton, AB., will be opening later this spring. Locally owned and operated by Jag Dhanju, the restaurant will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. with the drive-thru open until 11:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
- Chick-fil-A East Hills, located at 75 East Hills Boulevard SE. in Calgary, AB., will be opening later this spring. Locally owned and operated by Paul Bustard, the restaurant will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. with the drive-thru open until 11:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
All three restaurants will be participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table 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 35 million meals have been created using Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations from 2,300 Chick-fil-A restaurants throughout Canada and the U.S.
Chick-fil-A will donate about C$34,000 (US$25,000) for each new restaurant opening to a local non-profit organization through Second Harvest, one of Canada’s largest food rescue organizations. Since 2020, Chick-fil-A has donated about C$2 million (US$1.46 million) to local hunger-relief organizations through Second Harvest.
