A new Chick-fil-A is coming to Calgary with the opening Thursday of the brand’s latest location in the Sunridge area of the city.

And the famous restaurant brand will celebrate with Calgary’s first-ever  Moove-In Party. 

On opening day, local Owner-Operator Dharshan “Dash” Anbalagan is inviting people to dress like a cow — whether in a full cow suit or a simple pair of spotted ears, anyone who visits the restaurant dressed in cow attire can redeem one complimentary entrée or kid’s meal — no purchase necessary. 

The latest location for the company is 2807 32nd Ave. NE.

It marks the brand’s 31st restaurant in Canada. 

Chick-fil-A, Inc. is the third largest quick-service restaurant company in the United States. More than 200,000 Team Members are employed by local Owner-Operators in more than 3,000 restaurants across the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom and Singapore.   

Chick-fil-A opened its first Canada restaurant in 2019 in Toronto. In 2024, the brand announced plans to expand its international footprint with up to 20 additional restaurants across Canada by 2030.

The family-owned and privately held company was founded in 1967 by S. Truett Cathy. 

The latest Calgary location offers dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out, delivery, catering and Mobile Thru. The free-standing restaurant features a multi-lane drive-thru with an outdoor canopy for face-to-face ordering, 4,000 square feet of space and seating for 85 people.

As part of its commitment to the northeast Calgary community, Chick-fil-A said it is:  

  • Participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table program, which redirects surplus food to local nonprofits. 
  • Creating approximately 80–100 jobs in the Sunridge community, with above-minimum-wage pay, flexible scheduling for youth, and career development opportunities.
