SUCCESS STORIES

"Had it not been for their support and for the direction and for the amazing people who are working at the corporate office, I don't think we would have grown so quickly, or would have so many locations today"

Sarthak Kapur,
Multi-unit franchise Owner, Ontario

“We are afforded the opportunity to work within our communities, with one of Canada’s truly great brands. There is no greater reward than being in our stores and working hand-in-hand with all our teams, in an effort to make all our guest experiences truly special. We look forward to the each day in Boston Pizza, and the opportunity to face challenges together in this rewarding career.“

Ewen MacPherson
Multi-Unit Franchise Owner, Alberta and Saskatchewan

“I am a proud franchisee of Boston Pizza for over 25 years; have multiple locations and would highly recommend this brand to anyone.”

Trevor Tomanik
Multi-Unit Franchise Owner, British Columbia and Alberta
