Canada-based vegan fast-food concept has announced that it has signed a franchise agreement for a restaurant location in Edmonton, Alberta, according to a press release.

This will be Edmonton's first Odd Burger location and the second location under development in the province of Alberta. Franchisees Jasmin and Maheshkumar Patel are currently seeking an ideal location to bring Odd Burger's vegan fast food to the city of Edmonton, and they will be working closely with their local area representative, Utsang Desai from Sai-Ganesh Enterprises (SGE) to expedite the process.

"The city of Edmonton presents an incredible opportunity because of its large population and relatively limited selection of affordable plant-based restaurants," Desai, president of SGE, said in the press release. "We are confident that the people of Edmonton will crave Odd Burger just as much as they have across Ontario."

Odd Burger signed an area representative agreement with SGE in March 2022 to bring 36 additional locations Alberta and British Columbia over the next 7 years.

"We are seeing a significant acceleration of our growth in Western Canada ever since we started working with the SGE group," James McInnes, Odd Burger co-founder and CEO, said in the release. "Area representative agreements are an essential part of our growth strategy and it's exciting to see the benefits of these partnerships already."
