Vegan fast-food chain Odd Burger has signed a franchise agreement for its first Ottawa location, continuing its expansion plans throughout Canada.
Franchisees Charlotte Dietz and Leo Grant are currently seeking a site within the city to open the restaurant.
“Ottawa is key to making Odd Burger a national chain, and we now have the right partners to bring our brand to the capital,” said James McInnes, co-founder and CEO. “We think this community is ready for our classic menu of burgers, wings, and shakes, from wholesome ingredients like chickpeas, jackfruit, and fresh veggies.”
The Ottawa location is projected to open within three months of site selection and permit approvals. It
will follow the model of restaurants in the GTA Odd Burger smart kitchens feature modern on-demand cooking technology, online ordering, self-checkout kiosks, and cashless transactions.
The brand already has Ontario locations in Toronto, London, Windsor, Vaughan, Waterloo, and Hamilton, with a Calgary, Alta. franchise currently in development. In addition to restaurants, the company also operates a
manufacturing facility in London, where it creates its proprietary plant-based proteins and dairy
alternatives.
