TORONTO — Mary Brown’s Chicken — the 100-per-cent Canadian-owned QSR — is expanding overseas with the opening of its first international restaurant in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. The company will be known internationally as MB Chicken.
“For 55 years, Canadians have made Mary Brown’s Chicken their first choice for fresh, delicious hand-cut, hand-breaded fried chicken and taters. We’re excited to introduce our legendary fried chicken to the wonderful people of Lisburn,” says Hadi Chahin, CEO of MBI Brands. “We have been a beloved tradition in Canada for generations, and we can’t wait to share our passion for delicious, locally sourced and made-from-scratch quality food with our new friends in the U.K.”
The new Lisburn location will officially open on Feb. 21, 2024, with a menu featuring Mary Brown’s Chicken’s iconic Big Mary Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Tenders, Taters, bone-in Signature Chicken, Tater Poutine, and more. Mary Brown’s U.K. customers will also be treated to several new menu items that aren’t widely available in Canada, including MB Soft-serve Ice Cream, MB Shakes and Halloumi Fries.
Mary Brown’s Chicken also plans to open more locations throughout the U.K., Pakistan and Mexico in 2024. Within the next five years, the company’s goal is to expand to 150 international stores.
