You may know the name attached to delicious, made-from-scratch fried chicken and taters – but did you know that there really was a Mary Brown whose recipe became a Canadian success story 50 years ago?
True, that was the year man first walked on the moon – but it was also the year people walked through the doors of the first Mary Brown’s in St. John’s, Newfoundland, for a taste of that famous fried chicken. The rest, as they say, is history. The franchise grew and continues to grow – the first Mary Brown’s in Ontario opened in 1972 with growth out west to Alberta and east to the Maritimes as well as the Prairies and all the way to British Columbia following. Today, there are more than 155 Mary Brown’s locations across the country, with the numbers growing for this 100% Canadian owned and operated company.
What sets this fried chicken apart from others? The company uses proprietary cookers rather than pressure fryers that seal in the juices. There’s more, including a special meal deal for $19.69 and an epic party being planned in St. John’s.
