Restaurant Brings Approximately 100-120 Jobs to Community, Donates C$40,000 to Address Food Insecurity
TORONTO, ON (August 19, 2025) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant is ready to serve Mississauga at its newest location opening at Heartland Town Centre on Thursday, August 28, creating approximately 100-120 full- and part-time jobs. Chick-fil-A, Inc. selected Mufuti Sanusi to be the local Owner-Operator of the new restaurant.
Located at 5950 Mavis Road, Mississauga, Chick-fil-A Heartland will serve guests Monday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., offering dine-in, drive-thru and carry-out.
Locally Owned and Operated
“At my core, my true passion and purpose is to be a resource and a bridgebuilder,” explains Sanusi. “I want to encourage others to dare to dream and help them achieve their goals in life, just like my mother did for me.”
Sanusi’s journey is a testament to her entrepreneurial spirit, taking her from learning business principles from her mother and grandmother in Lagos, Nigeria, to earning her MBA in the United Kingdom, and now leading her second Chick-fil-A restaurant in Mississauga.
As the former Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Square One Shopping Centre, Sanusi is no stranger to the Mississauga community, as she has called the city home for the past 17 years. Sanusi is looking forward to continuing her impact on the community, and on the Team Members she’ll be working alongside.
Caring for the Mississauga Community:
Sanusi is committed to giving back to the Mississauga community by:
- Participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table™ program, which redirects surplus food to local non-profits and has helped to create more than 35 million meals to date.
- Celebrating the opening with a donation of C$40,000 from Chick-fil-A, Inc. to Second Harvest to support local hunger relief efforts in the greater Mississauga area. Since 2020, Chick-fil-A has donated approximately C$2 million (US$1.46 million) to Second Harvest to address food insecurity.
Cows Eat Free on Opening Day
To celebrate the restaurant moo-ving into town, cows will eat free on opening day! Mufuti and her team are inviting the community to show off their cow spots at the restaurant on opening day for one free entrée.
