Chickenburger is reputed to be the oldest drive-in restaurant in Canada Located in Bedford for more than seven decades The year the 1940 Chickenburger opened on the Bedford Highway. The Queen Street location will not be franchised, and is due to open in November, he said. MacDonald said he “doesn’t want to duplicate, only complement what’s happened in Bedford.� “I was fortunate enough to work with Mrs. Innes before she passed away and I learned a lot from her,� he said, referring to Bernice Innes, who co-founded the famous restaurant with her husband Jack. “We want to complement what the Innes family was able to start and we want to build on that foundation.� He said in opening the new locations, his No. 1 priority is maintaining the quality and integrity of the food.

Nostalgic and hungry airport passengers will soon be able to grab a Chickenburger as they fly in and out of town. Colin MacDonald, manager of the Chickenburger in Bedford, said Thursday new branches of the famous diner will open at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport and on Queen Street in Halifax. Construction at the airport has already begun next to the Burger King and will open in late October, said MacDonald. The Micco Group, owned by MacDonald’s father Mickey and family, franchised the airport location to HMS Host, an American airport food-service company, said MacDonald. “It was a unique opportunity that just popped up,� he said, adding the MacDonald family still maintains full ownership. “HMS Host knows the airports really well and they felt that the Chickenburger fits with the local clientele.�
