“This is another important step in growing our Flatiron brand in western Canada,” says Adam Drybrough, a partner with Lucid.  “Chinook Centre is an important location for us.  This Flatiron restaurant located on two floors on the northeast corner of the mall fronting directly onto Macleod Trail will become our flagship location. High traffic, high visibility and customer access from both the street and mall levels make it a desirable location for showcasing our premium casual restaurant concept.”

Drybrough said the two-storey, 9,500-square-foot restaurant with seating for 250 will feature an indoor/outdoor rooftop-dining patio overlooking MacLeod Trail. He anticipates that Flatiron will be hiring approximately 200 full and part-time culinary, service and leadership partners as the restaurant revs up for a grand opening in December.

The new restaurant will feature fresh cuisine items inspired by Flatiron’s Executive Chef Michelle Blanchett.  “With Michelle’s innovative culinary expertise, we will continue to offer new and exciting menu items that have established Flatiron’s reputation for serving outstanding cuisine at an affordable cost.”
