They already had a tough time getting noticed – overshadowed by the similarly-named American chain – but metro Toronto chicken restaurant Chick-Felay’s has been unwittingly pulled into a gay-marriage controversy it didn’t create.
The furor was sparked, of course, by Chick-fil-A, the major chain based thousands of miles away in Atlanta, Ga., but Chick-Felay’s has been forced to assure incensed customers that they aren’t part of it. Chick-Felay’s staff was understandably confused when a few patrons accused them of working at a “discriminatory” company or refused to pay after ordering. ”The servers were like, ‘What’s going on?’” Chick-Felay’s founder and CEO Nabeel Khan told the Wall Street Journal. Before they could answer their ranting customers, though, they had to educate themselves on exactly what was going on south of their border.

To be sure, Cathy’s company might encounter some cultural differences with Khan’s. Most of the Canadian company’s branches are halal-certified, approved under Islamic dietary regulations.

That’s what happens when you try to steal another company’s name. Although, the real CFA has had a great boost in sales.
“or refused to pay after ordering”
Typical liberals. Cheap bastards.
I doubt that they stole the name. Before the recent fit over Cathy’s opinions, Chick-Fil-A was pretty much unknown on this side of the border with the possible exception of snowbirds driving to Florida.
Canada ping.
Exactly. No sympathy here.

Never heard of peri peri chicken before.
That’s why they stole the name. They figured they wouldn’t get caught.
They are totally different. They have the Big Mac we have the Big Mic. They have golden arches we have golden arcs.
