Notes: Husky House Restaurants is a chain of – as of 2023 – more than 30 restaurants in Canada, offering, according to its website, "home-style cooking, friendly service and great value!" Located as part of highway service plazas, they were owned originally by Husky Energy.

Husky Energy began as a small refinery operation in 1938 and grew to become one of Canada's top integrated oil and gas producers. In January 2021, Husky Energy was purchased by Cenovus Energy; however, less than two years later (September 2022) Cenovus sold it retail fuel stations and convenience stores to Parkland and Federated Co-operatives Limited (Co-op). These two companies now own and operate the Husky-branded stations in Canada. According to the Husky website, Parkland and Co-op are in the process of rebranding these stations starting this year (2023).

Also, according to the Husky website: "When you get hungry in the middle of a long trip on the road, a hearty home-cooked meal is all your stomach wants. Husky House Restaurants serve up fresh, hot favourites for all meal times: breakfast, lunch and dinner."

Whether the restaurants will continue to operate as Husky House or be rebranded is not known at this time.
