An iconic Canadian fast food chicken restaurant has announced its opening date for its first Sault Ste. Marie location.
Mary Brown's Chicken has announced an April 7 opening date for the 248 Northern Ave. E. location, in the same plaza as Winners and Metro.
In a Facebook post, the Sault Ste. Marie Mary Brown's is promising a free Big Mary chicken sandwich to the first 50 people in line.
It's unclear what time the store will open on the first day. Calls to the Mary Brown's head office were not returned.
A $220,000 building permit was issued by the city in November for the construction of the restaurant within the pad site, which also includes Firehouse Subs, Bar Burrito, Sessions Canabis and Osmow's Shawarma.
Mary Brown's opened its first restaurant in St. John’s, Newfoundland in 1969, eventually spreading to more than 300 locations across the country.
Currently, the closest Mary Brown's location to the Sault is in Sudbury.
