Chick-fil-A is planning to fly the coop.
The chicken-sandwich chain announced Wednesday that it is heading north to Toronto to open its first franchised restaurant outside of the United States.
With sales booming domestically, the move could be the start of international growth for the chain that has a strong following of devotees.
The first three locations will open in 2019, with the goal of opening at least 15 restaurants in the Toronto area over the next five years, according to a company press release.
