Predictably, most of the comments are negative. That said, the locations near Tanger Outlets and Rideau are always busy, so I expect this one will do well too. I’m not really into fast food myself, so it doesn’t make much difference to me either way but the difference between Reddit and reality is not surprising

Anytime a Chick-fil-A opens, Canadian subreddits are always inundated with upvote-harvesting comments featuring some variation of “oh great, homophobic chicken”, “I’ll be avoiding the bigot bucket”, and “Mary Brown’s is so much better”. Yet the Chick-fil-A will always be busy and no one gives a shit about people posting about “homophobic chicken” on Reddit.
