St-Hubert BBQ Ltd is a chain of Canadian casual dining restaurants best known for its rotisserie chicken. St-Hubert is most popular in Quebec and in other French-Canadian areas such as Eastern Ontario and New Brunswick. The chain enjoys the highest customer loyalty of any restaurant in Canada (aside from Tim Hortons) according to industry analysis.[1]
In March 2016, St-Hubert agreed to be purchased by Toronto-area based Cara Operations (now known as Recipe Unlimited), the owner of the rival Swiss Chalet rotisserie chicken chain, for $537 million.[2][3] Cara increased its restaurant presence in Quebec as the St-Hubert chicken deal closed in September 2016.[4]
