February 18, 2016 – The owner of Jack Astor’s and Canyon Creek restaurants will soon start serving eggs laid by hens not raised in cages. 

SIR Corp, the owner of the two restaurant chains and several  others, announced February 18 all 64 of its restaurants will make the shift by September. 

The promise comes after public pledges by several other companies to start dishing up only cage-free eggs as well, including Tim Hortons, McDonald’s, and Starbucks. However, most of these companies 
say it will take between four and 10 years to make the change.
