The franchise

What the system provides, what you decide, and how the process runs.

A store that arrives already decided — and still leaves room for your town.

The core range, the preparation method and the reorder list come with the system, so an operator with no food service background can open and hold the routine.

On top of that you carry what your town actually buys. Supply stays non-exclusive throughout: you are not locked to a single supplier.

The system supplies

  • Products already selling
  • The preparation method for each line
  • How each line is merchandised and held
  • How it is sold: portioning, pairing, pricing logic
  • A reorder list rather than a purchasing decision

You choose

  • Local staples
  • Regional and seasonal lines
  • Your own sourcing, including out of province
  • Anything the core range does not cover for your site

What it takes

We are looking for operators who can do these things.

Prior food service experience is not one of them.

  • Follow a timed, single-step process
  • Work a reorder list and hold stock discipline
  • Maintain food safety certification and records
  • Open reliably
  • Train a new hire to be productive on day one
  • Commit to running the store themselves rather than as a passive holding

How the process runs

Five steps, no pressure at any of them.

From first note to opening day, you always know what happens next.

  1. 01

    You apply.

    Tell us who you are and which town you have in mind.

  2. 02

    We talk.

    A conversation about the town, the site and what you are looking for.

  3. 03

    We share the detail.

    Fees, terms, territory and the full investment breakdown come to you in a franchise disclosure document.

  4. 04

    You take your time.

    Where provincial law requires it you get at least 14 days with that document before anything is signed or any money changes hands. We work to that everywhere, in every province. Use the time, and take the document to your own lawyer.

  5. 05

    We open.

    Site, fit-out, opening stock and training.

What is not on this website

Fees, total investment and territory terms are not published here.

They belong in the disclosure document, where they come with the detail behind them and the legal protection that goes with it. Apply and we will get them to you.

Before you apply

Read the day, then read the range.

The two pages most people find useful before a first conversation: what a day in the store actually looks like, and what sits on the counter and the shelf.
