Chick-fil-A is opening a new restaurant on Thursday, May 29 in Calgary. Chick-fil-A East Hills is located at 1500-250 East Hills Square Southeast.
Last November, the brand opened its first Calgary location at 9223 Macleod Trail SW.
East Hills will be the newest location to open in Calgary. The new restaurant will employ approximately 90-110 full- and part-time people and will be open for dine-in and take-out from 10:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
In honour of the new restaurant opening, the company will donate $40,000 to local non-profit Calgary Dream Centre 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.
The restaurant will be participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table program, an initiative that will redirect surplus food from the restaurant to the Calgary Dream Centre.
To date, more than 35 million meals have been created using Shared Table donations from 2,300 restaurants throughout Canada and the U.S.
Earlier this year, the company announced it would be opening three new restaurants in Alberta this spring, continuing the brand’s plan to open 20 restaurants across the province by 2030.
Chick-fil-A Sunwapta West is now open in Edmonton at 10104 186th Street Northwest and Chick-fil-A The Meadows is now open in Edmonton as well at 4004 17th Street Northwest.
The company said it expects to open a record eight restaurants across Ontario and Alberta in 2025, marking the most openings in Canada in any year since it opened in 2019.
“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. Chick-fil-A franchisees are independent Owner- Operators who run complex Chick-fil-A-branded restaurant businesses with integrity and stewardship,” it said.
Chick-fil-A, Inc. is the third largest quick-service restaurant company in the United States, known for its freshly-prepared food, signature hospitality and unique franchise model. More than 200,000 people are employed by local Owner-Operators in more than 3,000 restaurants across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
Chick-fil-A opened its first restaurant in the UK in early 2025 with the goal of launching five locations across the UK within the next two years. The first Singapore restaurant is set to open in late 2025, marking the brand’s entry into Asia.
The family-owned and privately held company was founded in 1967 by S. Truett Cathy.
