Subscribe today to get the Franchise Canada magazine delivered straight to your inbox!

Something about food brings people together, and Canadians love a good meal: in fact, Canadians visit restaurants approximately 23 million times daily! This is according to Restaurants Canada, which also reports that the food service industry generates roughly $125 billion in annual sales.

Many of these visits take place at franchised small businesses, whether it’s a sit-down family meal, friends catching up over coffee, or a lunch grabbed on the go. For prospective investors interested in going into business in the food service sector, there is a veritable smorgasbord of franchise opportunities available.

If this food issue starts a craving for franchise opportunities, be sure to visit LookforaFranchise.ca, our online directory. You can search by industry type or investment level, and contact brands directly to find out more. Remember to look for the CFA member logo to make sure your chosen franchise investment has signed on to the Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) Code of Ethics.

Finally, readers in Toronto and Vancouver should make sure to register for free to attend the Franchise Canada Show in your city, and connect directly in person with franchise brands! Visit FranchiseCanada.Show for more information.

As always, there are boundless options and opportunities when it comes to franchising. As an almost $150 billion dollar industry operating in more than 60 industries, franchising is a feast—so bon appétit!
