Beaks Chicken returns to Regina after difficult two years
Global News
The fried chicken restaurant originally opened in Regina in 2013 on 11th Avenue, but closed amid COVID restrictions. It has now reopened in a new location on Dewdney Avenue.
Who doesn’t love fried chicken? That is the question at Beaks Chicken, which has reopened its doors to the public in Regina after a difficult two years.
The fried chicken restaurant was originally opened back in 2013 by Chef Paul Rogers on 11th Avenue, but has since moved to a new location on Dewdney Avenue.
As many local businesses did, Beaks Chicken closed its doors as the COVID-19 pandemic struck.
The restaurant instead transitioned their menu to a food truck where they participated in competitions and set up shop at many Regina locations.
They were all set to open up again in a brand new permanent location when the new space was flooded with water.
“It was rough,” said Beaks Chicken head cook Tayden Thompson Gray. “There was a lot of stuff we had to throw out and a lot of inventory we had to throw out.”
Now, after two months of clean up and two years of patience, the store is open for business once again.
“It’s good knowing that people hung on and waited for us to come back. It makes me feel good knowing people still want chicken.”
