While Calgary has plenty of excellent local eateries, the city is gearing up to see a whole host of international chains heading its way.
Hugely popular spots like Dave’s Hot Chicken and Marugame Udon have recently made their debut in the city, but there’s still so much more to come.
Here are some of the biggest international chains coming to Calgary.
Wingstop is gearing up to open three locations in the city during the first half of 2026.
The first flagship location for YYC will be located at CF Chinook Centre, and it’s going to have some pretty cool features, including a live DJ booth and a modern interior.
In addition to Chinook, it looks like another outpost will be opening at Deerfoot Meadows, according to the shopping centre’s website.

Chocoberry, a U.K.-born chain, is gearing up to open its first Canadian location in Calgary’s Kensington neighbourhood on Feb. 26.
The cozy concept is known for its all-day brunch, handcrafted desserts and specialty coffee. While each Chocoberry location is slightly different, expect dazzling floral arrangements and Instagram-worthy desserts.
Address: Kensington, Calgary
Calgary was previously home to several Tony Roma’s outposts, all of which have disappeared over the years. However, signage for the restaurant chain has appeared at 601 8th Ave. SW, the space that Mister M previously occupied.
No opening date for the location has been revealed just yet, with the signage simply reading “coming soon,” so Calgarians will need to wait to get their hands on its ribs.

It’s been a long wait, but Shake Shack is making its way to Cowtown, with its first Alberta location poised to open in CF Chinook Centre.
Work on the new location is currently underway, and a source close to its development told Dished that it’s anticipated to be completed in the spring.
Address: 6455 Macleod Trl. S., Calgary
