Church’s Texas Chicken is set to open two new locations in Ontario, Canada, as part of its plans to expand its footprint in the country.
The quick-service restaurant chain has collaborated with existing franchisee Mian Nadeem to open the new locations at Newmarket and Windsor. Both restaurants will be part of the company’s strategic re-branding campaign, called the Blaze initiative.

The latest openings will increase Nadeem’s Church’s Texas Chicken portfolio to seven locations.
Nadeem said: “Growing up, we had a Church’s Texas Chicken near our school and we would visit regularly to enjoy the delicious food and spend time together.
“We looked into franchising after moving to Ontario and we are so excited to be sharing the bold taste of Texas with others here.”
Church’s Texas Chicken forayed into Canada more than 40 years ago, making it one of the brand’s first international markets.
