Chick-fil-A will make its first foray into the international market early next year with the opening of a Toronto location, according to Fortune.
The company said its goal is to open 15 restaurants in the Toronto area over the next five years. Though there is a Chick-fil-A with limited menu in the Calgary airport, this will be the restaurant's first standalone location in Canada.
Chick-fil-A made $9 billion in revenue last year and is on track to become the third-largest fast-food chain in the U.S. in the next two years. The company has faced criticism from activists who took issue with comments Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy made in 2012 against gay marriage.
