If you are thinking about purchasing a franchise, it’s important to ensure you thoroughly understand the franchise agreement prior to making a decision. A franchise agreement is a legally binding contract which details the franchisors terms and conditions for the franchisee. Canada is home to many top franchises, so it’s important to evaluate your options.

To help with your decision-making process, here are 5 of the top franchises in Canada:

Tim Hortons

A Canadian coffeehouse favourite, Tim Hortons was founded in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario and has grown into the largest quick service restaurant chain in Canada with over 3,600 stores nationwide. The franchise is headquartered in Oakville but restaurants can now be found in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United Arab Emirates.

Mr. Sub

This popular sandwich shop was actually founded in Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood in 1968 and has grown to include 317 units.

Second Cup

Though Second Cup has not grown as large as Tim Hortons, the niche coffee chain has certainly established a following. Headquartered in Mississauga, Second Cup was founded in 1975 and now has over 360 store locations.

Pizza Pizza

For many Canadians, Pizza Pizza has grown into somewhat of a Friday night tradition. The chain was founded in 1967 in Toronto and now has over 700 units spread throughout Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia, and Western Canada.

Founded in 1922, Canadian Tire is the only retail franchise to make the list. With over 350 locations, the brand has certainly become a “go-to” for various automotive items, home goods, and sport and leisure products.
