Mary Brown’s Chicken, Lightlife Partner to Add Plant-Based Chicken Offerings

January 11, 2022

Mary Brown’s Chicken and Lightlife are partnering to bring plant-based chicken menu options for the first time to Mary Brown’s stores across Canada.   

Mary Brown’s will offer Lightlife plant-based Chicken Tenders on its menu as well as Lightlife plant-based Chicken Sidekick Snack Sandwiches in two flavor profiles.  

A growing segment of Canadians are choosing a flexitarian diet – they eat meat and poultry, but are increasing their intake of plant-based food. Mary Brown’s wanted to provide menu choices for this emerging demographic. 

“We’re listening to what Canadians are saying and how their food tastes are changing. So while chicken is at the heart of our menu, we also want to satisfy the cravings of Guests who are looking for delicious plant-based choices,” said Hadi Chahin, president and COO of Mary Brown’s.

Mary Brown’s is renowned for its Big Mary chicken sandwich and made-fresh methodology including hand cutting and hand breading its Signature Chicken & Taters from farm fresh Canadian ingredients.
