The only rumor I know about that place is that the family that runs the place owns their supply chain -- both a chicken farm and a potato farm.

Fun Chicken On The Way facts:

Anyone remember the stereotyped "mush-mouf" cartoon black guy logo (updated in the early 70s to include flared pants) outdoor signage until political correctness killed it?

Way back when, I guess they delivered too.

Also, for those of a certain vintage, the early 80s local punk group "The Golden Calgarians" featured a song entitled "Chicken On The Way."

I dunno about the swingin' thang. Maybe the gigantic rocket next door at Tel-Star Drugs fed the phallocentric myth.

That was always Calgary's retro-kitsch street corner, until Tel-Star went out of business.

Oh, and the Glenbow Museum apparently has that big Tel-Star Drugs rocket ship sign in storage.
