One of Canada’s fastest-growing quick-casual concepts, Poulet Rouge is accelerating its national expansion, actively seeking new locations in major shopping centres, high-traffic urban areas and strong suburban retail projects across the country. Built around fresh chicken menu, marinated and grilled in front of the customer, generous customizable bowls, signature flavours and fresh, high-quality ingredients, Poulet Rouge has reached over 100 locations in 2026. Recent openings include over ten locations in Ontario and Quebec with additional restaurants planned in Burlington, Ottawa, Pickering and Hamilton in Ontario and Old Montreal, Chateauguay and Rimouski in Quebec. The brand’s next phase will see significant expansion beyond its Quebec roots, with Ontario representing a major growth market alongside Alberta, British Columbia and Atlantic Canada. Poulet Rouge is strengthening its national infrastructure to support that growth, including the development of the Poulet Rouge Academy and a satellite office in Toronto. While Canada remains the clear priority, Poulet Rouge is also beginning to explore its first U.S. opportunities, with South Florida identified as the initial market for the brand’s future American expansion. The focus on flexibility and adaptability is reflected in the chain’s sizes, which vary from 400 to 600 square feet for food courts, 700 to 1000 square feet for in-line locations, and 1500 to 2200 square feet for street-front locations. Poulet Rouge is poised for continued growth, with its compelling brand, proven track record and a clear vision for expansion.
