The new opening will bring CPK’s signature California-style pizzas, pastas, salads and more to the country for the first time.
Located within the Currents of Windermere Shopping Center, the new location is the first of many planning in the province over the next eight years. The restaurant will span 4,500sq ft of indoor space and 1,800sq ft enclosed space with a heated patio. It is expected to seat 225 people and will offer all of CPK’s classic menu items including the Original BBQ Chicken Pizza, The California Club Pizza, The Thai Crunch Salad, and a range of other “Cali Health” infused offerings reflecting the latest in California infused culinary innovation.
“Expanding our franchise operations now beyond the U.S. is a top priority for CPK and affirms our broader strategy for long term growth in our international markets,” said Giorgio Minardi, Executive Vice President of Global Development & Franchise Operations at CPK. “Since announcing the partnership in 2020, our excitement continues to grow for the Alberta market.While Alberta will be the first province to see the CPK brand open a restaurant, we look forward to selecting the right franchisees to bring our ‘California Creativity’ to other provinces in Canada.”
California Pizza Kitchen also has plans to open restaurants in additional markets throughout the country, including Vancouver, British Columbia, and Toronto, Ontario.
