10 Reasons Restaurant Franchises in Ontario Are Profitable

Start gaining high profit by investing in restaurant franchises in Ontario and manage food shops and restaurants of your choice with full franchisor support.

Plenty of restaurant franchises in Ontario offer excellent opportunities for entrepreneurs seeking profit. Managing a business is made easy with franchises thanks to their easy-to-use system. Both experienced and inexperienced entrepreneurs benefit from such companies.

Entrepreneurs nowadays want less risk when investing their money. Having access to a business with a solid foundation and a proven working business model is a fantastic opportunity for people who want to get into the food business.

With Ontario's vibrant and active community, it’s easy enough to put up a restaurant or food shop and attract customers. The great thing about popular restaurants and brands is that they’ve already established loyal customers interested in buying from their restaurants.

What Is a Restaurant Franchise?

Franchise restaurants are businesses owned by a more prominent company. When you buy a franchise, you purchase the rights to run someone’s brand, but you don’t technically own the business. You must follow the rules and protocols when running these types of companies.

Everything from the menu, the service, and the business model is already predefined. All you have to do is to follow the instructions and run the business according to how it’s already run in other franchises.

Even though these companies are rigorous regarding how entrepreneurs should manage the units, it has a lot of advantages. One is the tremendous amount of support that the brand gives you. They will provide you with training, support, and assistance regarding supplies and marketing plans.

Reasons to Invest in Restaurant Franchises in Ontario

Deciding on the franchise you wish to buy can take time and effort. Before you choose a brand, you should familiarize yourself with them. It also helps to know the culture of the brands and what products and services they offer.

Below are some reasons why restaurant franchises in Ontario are often successful and profitable. When it comes to Ontario, there are countless popular restaurants to franchise and plenty of opportunities to grab.

Having a Competitive Market

Ontario is known to be among the top-ranked places where the business climate is excellent. The location also has more streamlined regulations and low energy pricing. That’s why investors start-up businesses there owing to the low-risk investment climate.

More Value for Multi-Unit Restaurants

There has been growth with franchises open in more than one location. Plenty of modern franchises are multi-unit, successfully establishing their brand and presence to more people. It’s all about taking advantage of a proven business model and the ability to open franchises in more than one location.

Major Markets Are Easily Accessible

Having a base in Ontario means reaching out to about 450 million customers in North America. The transportation infrastructure in Ontario is one of the best, which means that you cantilever products and services efficiently and conveniently.

Suppliers Are Easy to Find

For a restaurant franchise to work, you must have regular and quick access to suppliers. Ontario gives you the option to access more than 200 agricultural commodities in the local area. That means you can access fresh ingredients throughout the province.

Stable Marketplace

Ontario is considered the most efficient North American hub for global businesses. Entrepreneurs interested in opening successful franchises can take advantage of the market's diversity, activity, and stability.

Fast-Growing Food Industry

The food industry is steadily growing in Ontario. The area has become one of the best places to generate future income, especially for restaurant franchises. Compared to other business franchises, restaurants are one of the most successful.

The Variety of Customers

It’s worth the risk to start franchises in areas that have variety when it comes to customers. There are smaller franchisers that are forced to yield when they are faced with limited customers. However, if you operate in an area with diverse customer tastes, it’s easier to cater to a broader palette.

The Population Likes to Eat Out

People love going out to eat in Ontario, and it grows each time new people visit the area. Those who move in and arrive for a holiday can be considered potential customers. One of the main reasons people like eating outside is that they don’t want to cook at home and prefer more convenience in their food options.

You Won’t Run Out of Franchise Options

Owing to the diversity in population in Ontario, you won’t have problems picking a restaurant franchise. Since plenty of people in the population have a variety of tastes, you can choose specific cuisines and still have customers entering the restaurant.

Generate Better Income

Ontario has a good business climate that contributes to generating higher incomes. You are in an area where food choices are plenty, the marketplace is reasonable, and you have easy access to your suppliers. Opening up a franchise and finding yourself successful with a good amount of revenue is possible.

Choosing the Right Brand

How can you choose the right brand to work with when you’re interested in franchising? The decision depends on what your preferences are for food. You could go for popular restaurant names or niche food companies if you plan to cater to a specific crowd.

You can always attract customers in the Ontario area. For entrepreneurs who need more experience in the food business, franchises are the best option. Some brands might look for those with experience, but it’s not a heavy requirement for most companies.

Less Risk and More Profit

Go for a brand you’re most comfortable with or are most familiar with compared to others. Knowing more about the brand will make it easier for you to adapt to its rules. Remember that running businesses like these means everything you do is under their supervision.

Since there is a lesser risk when running these restaurants, you won’t have to worry about losing your investment or profit. Franchisors will make sure to give you the support and the training that you need to improve your sales.

The business models for these kinds of businesses are already tried and tested. The central branch well accounts for everything from the supplies, staff training, marketing, and equipment. That’s why it’s always the best option to buy restaurant franchises in Ontario that you genuinely like.

back to toronto - mama's backstory

note: mama's nickname before she was mama is peach! there'll be a few chapters of this, just to give some backstory on mama and aus' relationship / life before peanut was born! and ik the game mentioned here is an away game, but for the sake of the story, we'll pretend it's a home game

peanut's world! au masterlist || peanut's world au! request rules

gif not mine!

the energy in toronto was different than anywhere else. it was why peach loved the city.

she grinned to herself as they made their way through the downtown traffic. while almost everyone hated toronto traffic, it wouldn’t ruin her good mood. it was the day before opening night for the toronto maple leafs, and peach was back in the city she practically grew up in. it was going to be a good day, she could tell.

william nylander parked his car outside his house, ushering peach and the hughes inside.

just a few years ago, willy had been living with peach and the hughes in their toronto home, and now peach was here with her younger brothers to spend the week with him.

“oh! that’s so cool!” jack grinned, immediately dropping his bag on the floor and going to a framed and signed jersey on the wall.

peach rolled her eyes, clearing her throat and motioning to jack’s duffel bag that he threw on the floor.

“oh yeah,” jack muttered, coming back and shouldering his duffel bag.

peach laughed, flicking her younger brother lightly, before addressing willy. “where do you want us to put our bags?”

“just right here,” willy led them to the back, where he had two spare rooms available. 

peach took the smaller one, while her brothers shared the other room. peach spent the first day back in toronto exploring kensington market with her brothers. she missed that one burger restaurant more than she’d like to admit.

before any of the hughes had realized it, they were gearing up for the toronto maple leafs first game of the season, against the ottawa senators. peach had her ‘nylander’ jersey on, seats near the glass, and was impatiently waiting for puck drop.

the game was intense — the battle of ontario always was. with the leafs new rookie, auston matthews, scoring all four goals for the team, the leafs had managed to push the game to overtime.

“i hate overtime,” quinn muttered from next to luke.

peach was too busy trying not to tear her hair out to answer.

“matthews is scoring the game winner,” jack grinned from next to her, bouncing in his seat. “i’m calling it from now.”

“he already has four goals,” luke said from between quinn and peach. “you think he’s gonna score the ot goal also?”

“it’s auston matthews!” jack emphasized. “if anyone will score the fifth and game winning goal, it’s him.”

“careful, jack,” peach joked. “your man-crush is showing.”

quinn and luke laughed, while jack merely rolled his eyes. 

it was true. jack had gone to the leafs store and bought an overpriced auston matthews jersey before the game because they were all sold out online. he had this idea that matthews was going to be the saviour of the franchise.

peach had to admit that he was probably the leafs’ best chance in a really long time.

the puck dropped for ot, play continuing on both sides. it didn’t last very long, considering the senators scored less than forty seconds into the first overtime.

there was a chorus of groans from the fans in the arena as the goal horn sounded. 

the game was fun to watch, and the leafs played good, but ottawa just got a good goal in at the end. 

“i hate this team,” jack muttered, shaking his head to himself.

“no you don’t,” quinn rolled his eyes, the four siblings waiting for the crowds to empty a bit before heading to the tunnel.

willy trudged out a few minutes later, managing a smile at the sight of the four hughes kids. peach hugged willy quickly, the rest of the boys exchanging fist bumps as they began talking hockey. peach rolled her eyes at the boys, leaning against the wall as she waited for them to finish so they could go get some ice cream. peach loved hockey, but she wasn’t like her brothers where she needed to talk about it twenty-four/seven.

it’s jack’s unusual silence that drew peach’s attention back to the boys’ conversation.

luke and quinn were talking to willy about a play in the third period, one that led to ottawa’s goal. surprisingly, jack remained silent during this, breathing funny as he tried to stay calm.

“what’s wrong?” peach nudged jack’s foot.

jack motioned towards his right, where two leafs players were talking to each other. peach narrowed her eyes, recognizing auston matthews and frederick anderson, the goalie, deep in conversation. 

“quit fangirling,” peach tried not to laugh as jack ducked his head when his favourite rookie glanced over.

willy whistled towards freddie and auston, smiling as they came over. 

“guys, this is auston and freddie,” he motioned towards them. “these are the hughes kids. they were my billet family when i first came to toronto.”

peach put a hand on jack’s shoulder to keep him from bouncing, smiling at the two leafs players.

“you guys played a good game,” peach said to the two, hoping to raise their spirits somewhat.

being part of a family of athletes, peach knew it was hard to console yourself after an overtime loss. she appreciated words of comfort from her friends after those games, and even if she wasn’t ‘friends’ with these two players, she hoped they could still find some comfort in her words.

auston smiled back quickly, “thanks.”

peach noticed jack’s breathing beginning to go funny again, and she patted him as inconspicuously as she could on his back, reminding him to be normal.

“can i get your autograph?” jack asked auston.

“uh… yeah, sure,” auston blinked, taking the marker from jack and signing his jersey.

he was still new to toronto, and not at all used to giving autographs and taking selfies with fans.

jack grinned happily, and peach already knew he was planning on framing the jersey somewhere back home.

auston walked away as the hughes siblings and willy left as well, trying to get the pretty one and her smile out of his head.

Coffee Time

You can find the video at the link below!!

https://youtu.be/ohPLRY92yZ4

Today, let's take a look at some overall shots of this abandoned coffee shop!!

In this week's post we will be taking a look at a Coffee Time restaurant that has been abandoned since 2009.  Coffee Time has been around since the 80s, it is a coffee shop that serves coffee (obviously), donuts, sandwiches and soups, among other things.  It has always taken a backseat to the more popular chains such as Tim Hortons or Starbucks and is similar to say Country Style in terms of sales and reach.  I personally have never been a fan of Coffee Time, their coffee was never as good as the other brands and their food always just looked less appealing as well.  Growing up before I had a car, the closest coffee shop to home was a Coffee Time and I have many fond memories of sitting in the restaurant till all hours of the night with friends...who knows, maybe their menu has improved since then!

With its headquarters in Scarborough, Ontario, Coffee Time operates over 100 stores throughout Ontario and Alberta.  Founded in 1982 by Tom Michalopoulos in Bolton, Ontario.  The first few stores were operated under license agreements until they began franchising the restaurants in the late 80s.  In October 2006 the brand's parent company, Chairman's Brand Corporation bought the Alton Food Group, which owned Robin's Donuts, 241 Pizza and Mrs. Powell's Cinnamon Buns.  Starting in 2014 Coffee Time began updating and rebranding their locations, apparently this location missed its chance by only five years.

As for this particular store, I think it closed mainly due to being in a bad location.  It was part of a larger building that housed other businesses, when the restaurant closed, they built a wall to separate it from the rest of the building and it remained in the same state, untouched for over a decade.  The building also appeared to be in really rough shape, the roof looks as though it was beginning to fail before 2015.  The McDonald's closed in late 2015, the gas station and go-kart track would later close in 2019 but more about those later in part two of the video.  Since then the building has deteriorated even further, the roof has developed holes and the vandals have taken over.  In the spring or 2022 the entire building now sits boarded up and likely awaiting the wrecking ball before the property is redeveloped.

Buying a Franchise Canada: A Path to Business Success

For entrepreneurs looking to start a business with support, resources, and an established brand, buying a franchise in Canada is an attractive option. Franchising offers many benefits, from established business models and brand recognition to marketing and training support, making it a viable pathway for business ownership in Canada.

Franchise Directory Canada: Navigating Your Options

When it comes to buying a franchise, the range of options can be overwhelming. This is where a franchise directory in Canada proves invaluable. These directories offer a comprehensive listing of franchise opportunities across different industries—from food and retail to service and fitness. By using a directory, potential franchisees can easily compare franchise types, initial investment requirements, and support structures.

Directories often offer advanced filters that allow individuals to search for franchises based on factors such as investment amount, location, and industry. This structured information enables prospective franchise owners to make informed decisions and streamline the search process.

Canadian Business Franchises: Choosing the Right Industry

Canada boasts a diverse franchise market, covering sectors from restaurants and coffee shops to cleaning services, real estate, and fitness. Canadian business franchises come in all shapes and sizes, allowing aspiring franchise owners to find opportunities that align with their experience, interests, and goals.

Food service franchises, for example, are popular for their proven profitability, but they often come with higher initial costs and operating expenses. Conversely, home-based or mobile service franchises may offer lower upfront costs and more flexibility. Understanding the financial requirements, daily operational responsibilities, and long-term growth potential of each type of franchise will help narrow down choices that best suit individual ambitions.

Franchise Opportunities in Canada: Getting Started

Canada's franchising industry is regulated to ensure transparency and fairness. Prospective franchisees should explore franchise opportunities in Canada by investigating the financial requirements, franchisee-franchisor relationships, and market trends of the businesses they’re interested in. For example, some provinces, like Alberta and Ontario, have franchise legislation that requires franchisors to disclose key business and financial details, allowing prospective franchisees to make informed choices.

One major step in buying a franchise is to evaluate the support and training provided by the franchisor. Good franchisors will offer comprehensive training, covering everything from daily operations to marketing strategies. Additionally, some franchises offer ongoing support to help franchisees navigate market changes and stay competitive.

Conclusion:

Franchise Canada offers Canadians a structured way to enter the business world with a well-defined roadmap. Through franchise directories, prospective franchisees can explore various industries, investment levels, and locations. With ample franchise opportunities, those who choose the right brand and diligently assess their options have a promising foundation for success in the franchising world.

Coffee Houses and the Pumpkin Spice Phenomenon

New Post has been published on https://esonetwork.com/coffee-houses-and-the-pumpkin-spice-phenomenon/

Coffee Houses and the Pumpkin Spice Phenomenon

Coffee Houses and the Pumpkin Spice Phenomenon!

A coffee house is an establishment that sells coffee and usually other refreshments, and that commonly serves as an informal club for its regular customers. The first known use of the term coffeehouse was in 1612. More commonly a coffee house or coffee shop (cafe) serves various types of coffee, espresso, latte, americano and cappuccino.

Coffee houses are popular hangout spots in pop culture. The most famous example is Central Perk from the television show Friends. However, there are many more examples. Not only are these places great spots to get together on tv, they also work great in real life. Whether it’s the start of your road trip, a neutral place for a first date, or a pit stop along your journey, the coffee house is essential to every day life.

Real life coffee shops include Robin’s Donuts, Dunkin’ Donuts, Starbucks, and Tim Horton’s. McDonald’s is also becoming known for their great coffee. It seems as though everyone is trying to get on the coffee train.

Who was Tim Horton, and what is Tim Horton’s?

Tim Hortons Inc., known colloquially as Tim’s, Timmies, or Timmy’s, is a Canadian multinational coffeehouse and restaurant chain with headquarters in Toronto; it serves coffee, donuts, sandwiches, breakfast egg muffins and other fast-food items. It is Canada’s largest quick-service restaurant chain, with 5,701 restaurants in 13 countries, as of September 2023.

1964 saw the company founded in Hamilton, Ontario by Canadian ice hockey player Tim Horton (1930–1974) and Jim Charade (1934–2009), after an initial venture in hamburger restaurants. In 1967, Horton partnered with investor Ron Joyce, who assumed control over operations after Horton died in 1974. Joyce expanded the chain into a multi-billion dollar franchise. Charade left the organization in 1966 and briefly returned in 1970 and 1993 through 1996.

On August 26, 2014, Burger King agreed to merge with Tim Hortons for US$11.4 billion. The two chains became subsidiaries of Toronto-based holding company Restaurant Brands International on December 15, 2014.

The Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) is a coffee drink mix of traditional fall spice flavors (cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove), steamed milk, espresso, and often sugar, with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice. The beverage is most commonly associated with Starbucks, which first offered the drink in the fall of 2003. And that is the coffee houses and the Pumpkin Spice phenomenon!

Day 24, Monday, June 19: Grand Bend to St Marys to Toronto, Ontario.

Today I come back home. I sleep in until 8:00 AM, take advantage of the outdoor shower, and have a small breakfast and coffee with my hosts Dave and Wendy before heading off to St Marys to visit friends there.

It's only when I plop down in a chair at Bruce and Laurie's in St Marys that I realise how exhausted I am. I don't want to get out. Lucky for me, Bruce is a health food aficionado, and he and Laurie have some tonic and chili that pep me back up.

Suitably refreshed, I decide to eschew the scenic route and to take Hwy 8 directly through Stratford and Kitchener to the 401, 407, and home.

I get home around 4:30 PM. It's great to see Janis and home, but I'm both tired and a bit disoriented. Somewhat surprisingly, I realise that it's going to take some time to acclimatize myself back to my real life. I'm in bed by 6:00 PM. I'll worry about it tomorrow. I sleep until 8:00 AM the next morning.

So in hindsight, after 24 days and 12,000 km, what are the primary memories that stick in my mind. Here's my attempt at the list.

1. My decision to avoid interstates, big cities, and franchise restaurants was a good one. I feel that I saw so much more of the real America in her back roads, small towns and local bars, restaurants, and cafes.

2. Colorado is an incredible state - Durango, Telluride, the Million Dollar Highway, Pikes Peak, Colorado Springs. It is just an amazing state.

3. Visiting long-lost friends in Nevada and California and enjoying their hospitality just added such a positive element to the trip. It was like the maraschino cherry on top of the sundae.

4. Traveling the Great Plains across the SW was simply incredible. The history of America's westward expansion and so many of its signature people and places is written on those plains.

5. South Dakota is another amazing state - Custer, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Needles Pkwy, the Black Hills. Simply beautiful and amazing.

6. I stopped in many small cafes on my trip. The people I met, the conversations that I had, the hospitality that I enjoyed, the Baileys in my breakfast coffees. So interesting, enjoyable, and memorable.

7. Death Valley, from 8,000 ft and 48° in Mammoth Lakes in the morning to 200 feet below sea level and 110° in the afternoon, need I say more?

8. Yosemite, this is June, but it took me three tries to find a clear path over Yosemite to Nevada. My first try, the Tioga Pass (Hwy 120 - 10,000 ft) was blocked with snow. My second try, the Sonora Pass ( Hwy 108 - 9,600 ft) was also blocked by snow. I finally made it through on the Carson Pass (State Rte 88 - 8,650 ft). In June.

9. The Utah Salt Flats. Great Salt Lake is a terminal lake, which means three rivers flow in, and none flow out. The only way it loses water is through evaporation. The result is a 4,400 sq km lake that is saltier than the ocean and a huge salt flat running all the way west of Salt Lake City to the Bonneyville Salt Flats and the Nevada border.

10. Route 66, established in 1926, is one of the originals of the US Numbered Highway System and runs for 2,400 miles across two-thirds of America from Chicago to Los Angeles. Much of it now is intertwined with interstates, and my route often took me elsewhere, but none the less, I was finally able to ride at least part of this storied highway.

11. As a Canadian, I have a more than passing acquaintance with lakes Erie, Ontario, Huron, and Superior. Not so with Lake Michigan. My exposure on this trip was when I took the fast ferry across the lake from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Muskegon, Michigan. 80 miles in two and a half hours was quite the experience, as were the beautiful calm waters of Lake Michigan and the incredible sheltered harbour in, and the resort town of Muskegon. And another great breakfast spot.

12. Passing over the Continental Divide through the 12,000 ft Loveland Pass in Colorado and crossing the storied Missouri River (the longest river in the US, it runs 2,341 miles from SW Montana before joining the Mississippi River in Missouri) and the Mississippi River (it starts in northern Minnesota and it runs 2,340 miles to the Mississippi Delta in the Gulf of Mexico).

13. The farms and ranches of the US southwest and the Great Plains. I was astounded how location, altitude, and irrigation had such an impact on agriculture and life style. Generally speaking, it's higher, cooler, wetter, and greener vs. lower, warmer, dryer, and browner. I saw lots and lots of naturally brown areas transformed to green by irrigation along with days without end of hay, straw, wheat, corn, and soybeans along with countless horses, dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, goats, llamas, and buffalo.

My conclusions are twofold: there is no substitution for the educational experience of traveling; and notwithstanding the apparently overwhelming sentiment of these days and times, there is much, much more that binds us together than what separates us.

Why You Should Take Franchise Opportunities in Ontario

Being open to franchise opportunities in Ontario enables you to tap into a huge target market with a growing and stable business that makes you your boss.

There are plenty of franchise opportunities in Ontario that you can grab. Business relies heavily on how you find opportunities and how you can make the most out of them. Franchising is a good business as long as you know what to do.

You must choose a food business you know will work for you. The second thing to consider when owning a food business is, knowing where to place them. Third, you must know how to market the franchise to the right people.

Franchising is like having your own company but in an easier way. Some people can put up a business from scratch. Food companies give you opportunities to do so. You can now be your boss by acquiring a restaurant of your choice.

Why Franchises Are Successful in Ontario

Ontario is one of the best places to invest in a food franchise. It’s a place where people have diverse liking for food. That means you won’t have to worry about attracting customers, as many people are willing to try out new tastes.

On the other hand, you can also find people loyal to the franchises they like. You can take advantage of that and open up a food business that you know will click with the current tastes of the locals.

Suppose you want to open a franchise, to go with a brand you know or brands that have caught your attention. Always research the brand and what they offer in their food companies' deals. The more you know about the restaurant, the easier it will be for you to understand the process.

What It’s Like to Own a Food Franchise

The next question would be, What would it feel like in the first place? Does it differ from when you build a company from scratch? Can you get benefits from food companies?

To get franchises, you must also understand how the system works. It’s not the same as having a business, but it gives you the benefits of managing a business of your choice. It’s a good option for those struggling to build a niche business.

Once you own a food business, you can manage it actively or hire people to stay on-site. What matters in the food business is that you can market the brand well and have a steady flow of customers. You can always expect revenue when a food business is done correctly.

Perks of Owning a Franchise

Just how many benefits can you get from owning a franchise? Here are some benefits of owning a food business. Remember that not all franchises are the same; some might have varying rules, regulations, and expectations from entrepreneurs.

Practicality and Popularity

When you choose a popular franchise, you no longer need to worry about getting customers' attention. Those loyal to the brand will always prefer your franchise over anything else. The stronger the food brand is, the more comprehensive your customer base is.

It doesn't mean that you can’t reach out to new customers. When marketing is done right, you can almost always reel new and interested customers to the restaurant. Everybody eats; in Ontario, many people like eating outside and trying new things.

Solid Branding

Branding is one of the most challenging things to establish with businesses. You have to ensure that the brand doesn’t copy anything else and that it’s memorable for people to recall. With food businesses, you can always pick strong brands that you want to manage,

The solid branding of these restaurants can help get your business out in the open. People will easily recognize the brand and will try to visit your franchise. It is true, especially for customers who wanted a nearer location to their favorite food business.

Consistent Customer Experience

People who like the brand will always try out franchises close to their areas. If you tap into an existing customer base in the location, you’ll be able to give them the customer experience they want to experience themselves.

One rule of handling franchises is that you follow the processes and procedures of the brand. Once you follow their operations gives the customers a familiar feeling and makes them want to return to your food business.

Exciting Business Model

Acquiring restaurants also means that you have to be open to different types of business models. Restaurants and food preparation services have their own rules and regulations. It helps if you’re familiar with the brand‘s business model before applying for a franchise.

It’s crucial to look up the franchise that you want to get beforehand. Immerse yourself in the business model and the company culture of the franchise you wish to acquire. It will be easier to adapt to the changes if you know more about the brand.

Sales and Discounts

If you’re part of a franchise, you can secure discounts and buy items in bulk. You also have access to sales and the power to decide how to promote them. Most of the time, They will discuss marketing strategies with representatives from the leading company.

You also have the power to market the ongoing sales and discounts in the restaurant. Sometimes, the brand's team discusses the plans with franchisees. Once common ground is set and everyone agrees with the marketing plan, you can prepare the promotional materials.

How Franchising Helps You Grow

It’s not impossible to grow a business, even in a franchise. Of course, building your brand from scratch will give you all the revenue that you gain. However, the costs of putting up the business first are more than double. Franchises give you a more accessible option of getting the same revenue through an established brand.

Food businesses are rewarding and motivate you to improve yourself as a business owner. Not everyone can immediately market a brand-new business; some feel overwhelmed by the work and stress that companies entail; franchises take away all those stress.

Expect more security from franchising because they supply you with staff training and resources for starting the business. Choose which franchise opportunities in Ontario you would like to pursue.

Tim Hortons No. 1 in Hamilton, Ontario When National Hockey League player, Miles Gilbert "Tim" Horton, opened this first branch of his first eponymous restaurant in Hamilton, Ontario, on May 17, 1964, no one would have imagined that his name would become as synonymous with Canada as maple leaves, poutine, and hockey itself. Today, the franchise has grown into Canada's largest fast-food chain, with over 5,000 locations in 15 countries.  Horton was a Canadian ice hockey defenseman who played professionally for the Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Buffalo Sabres. After a brief attempt at hamburgers, Horton founded the fast-food coffee and doughnut chain with business partner Jim Charade.  The very first Tim Hortons shop remains at its original Hamilton location. In 2014, the building was entirely rebuilt in recognition of the restaurant's 50th anniversary. The renovation included the addition of a second floor to house a museum of the chain and its founder. Lest there be any doubt as to the location, the building's signage proudly declares, “First Restaurant Opened Here May 17, 1964.” Graphics on the retro sign include a cartoon likeness of Tim Horton shooting doughnuts with a hockey stick. Completing the renovation was the addition of a larger-than-life bronze sculpture of Tim Horton, in full hockey gear, in front of the store to greet visitors. The second-floor museum has six rooms representing different decades of the restaurant’s history. The first room is a reproduction of an original Tim Hortons dining room, circa 1964, complete with a vintage cash register and Formica counters. Racks of doughnuts from the chain's past fill the display cabinets, including replicas of two of the ever-popular original doughnuts, the Apple Fritter and the Dutchie.  The museum contains furnishings, tableware, ephemera, uniforms, paper products, and memorabilia from Tim Hortons of yore, as well as mementos that highlight Horton's Hamilton roots and his Hall of Fame hockey career. Best of all, one can enjoy the displays while munching a fresh Honey Dip and sipping a Double-Double. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/tim-hortons-no-1

another example is like home depot came to quebec but isn't the number one home improvement store. people will prefer to go to rona or reno depot, both quebec businesses. and largely hold quebec brands. again i remember home depot wanted to largely walk in and crush the market but again has to compete a lot with the other two brands. rona and reno depot have a lot more decorating options. like home depot is very bare bones.

RONA:

RENO DEPOT:

michaels only recently came into quebec and is usually poorly stocked in quebec while deserres is quebec's version of crafting store franchise and has a more intimate boutique shopping experience with less of a walmart feel. like each store is different and has art installations. you go to omer to get paint and canvases, drawing supplies and the store carries not just the store brand. you have sections for beading and glass work and stationary.

DESERRES:

swiss chalet doesn't exist anymore really in quebec. if it does it is more to the ontario border. saint hubert and benny's are the prefered bbq chicken restaurants.

like simons is i would say the equivalent of macy's but has a real boutique appeal where you can get affordable clothes but also upscale options. you can even get alterations. each store is unique in floor plan and design.

SIMONS:

sephora has tried to break into quebec's market but again it is usually poorly stocked and more often there a better options like at drugstores (jean coutu/pharmaprix/uniprix) have separate beauty sections carrying the same brands that you would find at sephora with the benefit of getting discounts for the whole store.

JEAN COUTU:

it's just an interesting bubble that was created due to language requirements and french quebec wanting intimate and personalized boutique shopping experiences. even the lighting is softer

quebec's language laws have protected quebec in a weird way from late stage capitalism. by no means to idealize quebec, i just don't see it wildly talked about how a language barrier has stalled capitalism.

i am sure there are socio-economic papers written on this. like because you need to have french contracts, terms of service and signage, a lot of american companies and global conglomerates don't go to quebec. like a lot of businesses just don't exist in quebec compared to the rest of canada. like franchise restaurants. quebec has a lot less franchise restaurants. oh there are a couple but they are like very specific to quebec and also just in the more metropolitan areas. usually in suburbs you don't have a lot of franchise restaurants.

this is also sweepstakes. because in quebec a mail in entry is required for any sweepstakes. you don't have to buy the product. also a lot of brands need to have their labels in french so a lot of products just don't get to quebec market

also a lot of the population wants to be serviced in french so they prefer quebec companies. this is why there are quebec specific internet and telephone companies. bootlegging is wild popular because there was usually a lag before you could get english content because they needed to make the french dub.

its also why movie rental stores stayed open for a long time in quebec because they catered to french language dubbed movies. like blockbuster did come to quebec but it didn't have the same chokehold on the market. like i rarely went to blockbuster growing up, there were 3 local video rental places that had more titles than blockbuster because the blockbuster business model didn't appeal to quebec residents. especially if you wanted to rent french versions of video games.

anyway, just interesting to think about

Coffee Time

Check out the brand new video here and you aren't going to want to miss this intro!!

https://youtu.be/ohPLRY92yZ4

Let's begin this brand new location with a look at a few exterior photos and a sneak peak of the inside!!

In this week's post we will be taking a look at a Coffee Time restaurant that has been abandoned since 2009.  Coffee Time has been around since the 80s, it is a coffee shop that serves coffee (obviously), donuts, sandwiches and soups, among other things.  It has always taken a backseat to the more popular chains such as Tim Hortons or Starbucks and is similar to say Country Style in terms of sales and reach.  I personally have never been a fan of Coffee Time, their coffee was never as good as the other brands and their food always just looked less appealing as well.  Growing up before I had a car, the closest coffee shop to home was a Coffee Time and I have many fond memories of sitting in the restaurant till all hours of the night with friends...who knows, maybe their menu has improved since then!

With its headquarters in Scarborough, Ontario, Coffee Time operates over 100 stores throughout Ontario and Alberta.  Founded in 1982 by Tom Michalopoulos in Bolton, Ontario.  The first few stores were operated under license agreements until they began franchising the restaurants in the late 80s.  In October 2006 the brand's parent company, Chairman's Brand Corporation bought the Alton Food Group, which owned Robin's Donuts, 241 Pizza and Mrs. Powell's Cinnamon Buns.  Starting in 2014 Coffee Time began updating and rebranding their locations, apparently this location missed its chance by only five years.

As for this particular store, I think it closed mainly due to being in a bad location.  It was part of a larger building that housed other businesses, when the restaurant closed, they built a wall to separate it from the rest of the building and it remained in the same state, untouched for over a decade.  The building also appeared to be in really rough shape, the roof looks as though it was beginning to fail before 2015.  The McDonald's closed in late 2015, the gas station and go-kart track would later close in 2019 but more about those later in part two of the video.  Since then the building has deteriorated even further, the roof has developed holes and the vandals have taken over.  In the spring or 2022 the entire building now sits boarded up and likely awaiting the wrecking ball before the property is redeveloped.

To say that I didn’t particularly enjoy my time driving across our great country is an understatement. While the Trans-Canada highway is as pleasurable a drive as ever, and the 1976 Comet GT lived up to its reputation as a road-swallowing go-anywhere machine, I was left wanting something more. And that something more is old-school, shitty restaurants.

When I was a kid, every small town on the highway used to have a variety of execrable food-holes that only stayed afloat because passersby were in too much of a hurry to try and get their money back. Virtually all of them served weak fare that you were lucky to not find an old cigarette butt inside, and everybody local seemed to be ordering off a different menu than you, the outsider.

Cutting that old Mercury out from the tree that had grown around it, I didn’t expect all the greasy-spoons to be gone. I envisioned a lot of great experiences like this on my way to Ontario, in order to attend the 100th anniversary of the invention of rust. What I found instead, though, was Tim Hortons and other depressing chain restaurants, sitting in the spots that used to hold something more interesting. Where I remembered a corn-dog stand cut into a giant fibreglass replica of a tree that was only open two days a week, there was now a corporate shithole that wouldn’t even give me the local variety of food poisoning.

I think there’s still some hope, though. On the way back, I’m going to try and avoid the major highways as much as possible, in order to find places so obscure that even the local politicians can’t justify spending taxpayer money on a franchise. Sure, it’s going to add about a month to my return trip, but I did get a little over-enthusiastic at the corrosion anniversary afterparty, and so I don’t think it’s a good idea to drive all that quickly either.

Unionization for Franchise Workers

“The reason Tim’s employees and so many other workers don’t have the benefit of a union contract is that Ontario’s labour laws make it virtually impossible for workers in franchise operations to join unions.”

“Our current system of labour relations was designed in the 1930s and ’40s when workplaces were very different — and it is profoundly ill-suited to accommodate collective bargaining at thousands of retail franchises across the province. It is very difficult to generate any real bargaining power by trying to unionize one Tim’s store at a time — let alone trying to negotiate at one, or even five, Tim’s stores among the hundreds spread across Ontario.”

“As a result, the overwhelming majority of retail franchise workers in Ontario are not unionized. And it is not for a lack of trying, both by unions and workers. Many unions have organized Tim Hortons, McDonald’s and Starbucks franchises, for example. But those efforts have ultimately failed to create any real union density in the sector because labour laws remain stacked against Ontario’s most vulnerable workers.”

Dollar Menu Burger King

Burger King takes swat with fresh gut bomb burger at McDonald's

Think of it as the gut busters' fight. Burger King also launched a hefty new burger made from a half-pound of beef in an attempt to go after competitor McDonald's, and it went on sale Thursday.

Dollar Menu Burger King - The Pound of the Double Quarter McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder is specifically attacked by King Sandwich. The Burger King edition will consist of two American cheese beef patties, sliced onions, pickles and ketchup on a toasted bun of sesame seeds.

The latest Double Quarter Pound King, unlike the Double Whopper, has no lettuce, tomato or mayonnaise, however, according to the brand, it does have two slices of cheese. The latest burger has 60% more meat than the former Big King burger as well.

This is not the first time McDonald's has been trolled by Burger King. An ad at Halloween time included a creepy version of Ronald McDonald, based on the Stephen King novel, dressed up to mimic Pennywise from the horror movie It. "Come as a clown, eat like a king" was the motto.

Sales of Burger King rose 3.6%, Restaurant Brands International's owner said in his third-quarter earnings report. With the launch of the upscale Signature Crafted Recipes sandwich line, the hand-crafted McCafe drinks and the fresh $1-$2-$3 Dollar Menu, McDonald's has been making strides in 2017.

Both franchises are facing the competition from the so-called better-burger players, as well as Wendy's and smaller regional fast-food burger chains, which offer more costly and, some claim, tastier variants of the American classic, such as Five Men, Smashburger, Shake Shack and Fatburger.

Any traffic is powered by menu programmes that bring novelty. It's the one thing that fast-service restaurants have to do to draw clients,' said Helena Sing, who covers S&P Global's Restaurant Brands International. "This unique programme seeks to target all burger eaters who are hard-core."

Burger King was founded in 1954 and, according to the group, is currently the world's second-largest fast-food burger chain with more than 15,000 outlets around the world.

The portfolio of Ontario-based Restaurant Brands International comprises Tim Hortons and Popeyes as well.
