Dixie Lee Fried Chicken is a Canadian fast-food chain founded in 1964 by Ramon Leon and Douglas Walmsley in Belleville, Ontario. Originally a regional franchise, the company is now based in Kingston and Bruce Mines. In late 2024, the chain announced a major international expansion into the Middle East, India, and Far East Asia through a partnership with Timms Holding Limited. This move marks its first significant global push in over 60 years. In Canada, it continues to operate through major groups like Dixie Lee Maritimes, which manages 38 locations, and has recently seen new openings in Bancroft and a return to Prince Edward Island.
