A new Chick-fil-A restaurant is opening in Mississauga Heartland Town Centre on Thursday, August 28, creating approximately 100-120 full- and part-time jobs. Chick-fil-A, Inc. selected Mufuti Sanusi to be the local Owner-Operator of the new restaurant.
Located at 5950 Mavis Road, Mississauga, Chick-fil-A Heartland will serve customers Monday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., offering dine-in, drive-thru and carry-out.
“At my core, my true passion and purpose is to be a resource and a bridgebuilder,” said Sanusi. “I want to encourage others to dare to dream and help them achieve their goals in life, just like my mother did for me.”
Sanusi’s journey is a testament to her entrepreneurial spirit, taking her from learning business principles from her mother and grandmother in Lagos, Nigeria, to earning her MBA in the United Kingdom, and now leading her second Chick-fil-A restaurant in Mississauga, said Chick-Fil-A.
As the former Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Square One Shopping Centre, Sanusi is no stranger to the Mississauga community, as she has called the city home for the past 17 years. Sanusi is looking forward to continuing her impact on the community, and on the Team Members she’ll be working alongside, it said.
The company said Sanusi is committed to giving back to the Mississauga community by:
- Participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table™ program, which redirects surplus food to local non-profits and has helped to create more than 35 million meals to date.
- Celebrating the opening with a donation of C$40,000 from Chick-fil-A, Inc. to Second Harvest to support local hunger relief efforts in the greater Mississauga area. Since 2020, Chick-fil-A has donated approximately C$2 million (US$1.46 million) to Second Harvest to address food insecurity.
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 Team Members are employed by local Owner-Operators in more than 3,000 restaurants across Canada, the United States 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.
