Here's a number worth sitting with if you're exploring business ownership. 📊

Franchising is now Canada's 12th largest industry, and in 2025 it contributed more than $143 billion to the national economy, well ahead of the earlier $133 billion projection.

What that really reflects is a steady, established model that continues to draw Canadians into ownership. In fact, a new franchise opens in Canada roughly every two hours.

Ever wonder what's actually happening across a franchise network on any given month? Recent franchise openings offer a factual look. 📍

The latest activity spans the country and beyond. Mr. Sub in Brockville and Windsor. La Diperie in Barrie. Manchu WOK in Montreal. Jugo Juice in Calgary and Kelowna. Plus international openings in markets like Iraq and Mexico, across formats ranging from drive-thru and food court to street-front and casual dining.

For a prospective franchise partner, recent opening activity is one useful reference point among many. It shows the process functioning across brands and geographies: sites being reviewed, approved, built, and launched on an ongoing basis, from smaller communities to major centres.

One important note: opening activity doesn't indicate performance outcomes for any individual location. Each restaurant operates on its own terms.

September is Franchisee Appreciation Month, and it's a good moment to step back and see the bigger picture. 🙌

Canada is home to more than a million small businesses, and a significant share of them are franchises. In fact, franchising is now Canada's 12th largest industry, contributing more than $143 billion to the economy and employing nearly 2 million Canadians.

But behind every one of those figures is something much more personal: a local owner who invested in their community and built something of their own.

To every franchise partner in the MTY Food Group family: you're the reason numbers like these exist. Thank you. 🤝

A piece of advice for anyone exploring franchise ownership: start with yourself, not the brand. 🍴

It's tempting to jump straight to comparing concepts. But the most useful early work is getting honest about what kind of operator you want to be.

Do you want early mornings and earlier evenings, or a later rhythm? A simpler operation, or something more involved?

The clearer you are on those answers, the easier it becomes to find a brand that genuinely fits, and the fewer surprises you'll run into later.

The right opportunity isn't just the one that looks good. It's the one that fits your life. If you'd like help thinking it through, visit mtyfranchising.com/inquiry-form/ 🤝

Sushi Shop's story started in one boutique location at Montreal's Atwater Market back in 2000. 🍣

Since then, it's grown into one of Canada's fastest-expanding sushi brands, with over 170 locations nationwide. Along the way, it has built a reputation for blending authentic craftsmanship with bold, design-forward innovation, and a menu guests keep coming back to.

For a prospective franchise partner, that combination matters. You'd be building with a brand rooted in quality, strong design, and a long history in the Canadian market.

It's easy to underestimate how much franchising shapes the Canadian economy. 📊

The latest figures put it in perspective. Franchising is now Canada's 12th largest industry, contributing more than $143 billion to the national economy in 2025, ahead of earlier projections. Looking forward, employment across the sector is projected to reach 1.83 million jobs by 2027, with hundreds of net new locations expected to open in the year ahead.

For a prospective franchise partner, numbers like these reflect something reassuring: a mature, established model that continues to grow across the country.

This year, Mucho Burrito turned 20. 🌯

From a single restaurant in Mississauga back in 2006 to 130+ locations across Canada today, it's been quite a two decades, built by the guests, teams, and franchisees who've been part of the journey.

For a prospective franchise partner, a milestone like this is worth paying attention to:

✅ An established fast-casual Mexican concept, handcrafted to order in an open kitchen
✅ 130+ locations across the country
✅ Twenty years of staying power in a competitive category
✅ The backing of MTY Food Group

Reaching 20 years takes a concept people connect with and a network of franchise partners who believe in it. Here's to the next chapter.
