The goal is to open 15 restaurants in the Greater Toronto area over the next five years. Just as in the U.S., the locations will be closed on Sundays, a nod to its Christian values.

The company has long come under fire from gay rights activists. CEO Dan Cathy’s comments about the biblical definition of a family and how marriage equality would bring God’s wrath on the U.S. spurred kiss-ins and boycotts across the country in 2012. Chick-fil-A’s reception in New York remains chilly. But the chicken hawkers aren’t sweating it: They made $9 billion in revenue last year and are on track to become the third-largest fast food chain in America.

It’s technically not the first time Chick-fil-A will be available in Canada: Travelers through the Calgary airport can order from a limited menu. But Torontonians were excited about Chick-fil-A coming to Canada, for various reasons:

Can’t wait for @ChickfilA to open in Toronto. Don’t have to drive to Ohio anymore. Now if I can get some $$ maybe I can open a location in Kitchener Waterloo! That’s some living the dream stuff right there.

We don’t want @ChickfilA in Toronto. Won’t see me there. We like diversity and support gay marriage here. Unlike @dancathy comments in 2012. Let’s not forget what was said —> https://t.co/QPOa0n7yxt #Toronto https://t.co/4nmEhQpjtZ

I can't wait for @ChickfilA to come to #Toronto so that I can actively boycott them. #boycottchickfila

Earlier this week the fast food chain announced its first foray into meal kits. Starting Aug. 27, the kits will be available at 150 of the brand’s Atlanta-area locations and are designed to be made in about a half hour, using the same Chick-fil-A chicken used in-house.
