Five Biggest Food Chains in Canada

With a flourishing and increasing amount of population in Canada, there’s no doubt that food businesses can be really successful there, and turns out, it’s even better than successful! Because of the expansive nature of Canada, almost all famous Food chains like McDonalds, KFC and Starbucks have opened over hundreds of branches in the country. And truth be told, it’ll be impossible to not be successful in a country with 10 provinces and 36 million people. So, below are 5 of the biggest and most famous Food Chains in Canada. Keep on reading!

1.       Tim Hortons:

Without a doubt, you all knew this massive food chain would’ve been on top of the list. Founded in 1964 by a hockey player Tim Horton, this fast food restaurant took Canada in a storm because of its trademark donuts and coffee. As noted in 2016, with a revenue of $3.00 billion, the multinational Food Chain has successfully opened a grand total of 4,613 restaurants spread across 9 countries, and with the deal with Burger King in 2014, it doesn’t look like that growth will slow down any time soon!

2.       A&W Fast Food:

Although Tim Hortons spread its wings across to other countries of the world, A&W decided to stay Canadian by heart. Founded in 1956, it was originally part of a US fast food chain, but decided to cut its ties in an effort to make its operation successful without any corporate help. Well, it blew up and as of December 2013, it is the second largest burger chain in Canada after McDonalds, sitting at 850 outlets and $99.4 million CAD revenue.

3.       Pizza Pizza:

This private pizza restaurant isn’t really well known in other places of the world, but in Canada, it is considered the best franchised pizza restaurant to date. Spanning its business to over 500 different locations, the exact revenue of the food chain isn’t known, but judging by the significant expansion in the 2000’s and that the restaurant is now head-to-head with competitors like Pizza Hut and Domino’s Pizza, we believe that it has the potential to become a major franchise!

4.       Country Style:

Situated primarily in Ontario, Country Style is ranked on second place in the entire coffee chain list of Canada! This casual coffee chain serves a variety of different things like soups, sandwiches, oatmeal, salads and coffee. Ever since the business started growing exponentially in 2006, this coffee chain grew from 120 outlets to over 1000 outlets across the entire country. Keep an eye out for a nearby outlet, because they aren’t going to stop growing anytime soon!

5.       Pita Pit:

        This quick-service franchise specialized in serving pita sandwiches, and surprisingly, they’re really good at it! Started in 1995, the first shop was bought to existence by founders John Sotiriadis and Nelson Lang in Ortanio, and just like that, it started growing bigger. Bigger to a point that it now has over 500 restaurants, not only in Canada, but in 11 different countries, from the US and UK to India and Singapore.
