Odd Burger signs 1st agreement for British Columbia
January 6, 2022
Odd Burger Corporation has igned a franchise agreement for Victoria, its first British Columbia location, continuing its expansion plans throughout Canada and the west, according to a press release.
Franchisees John Bowker and Luke Ceraldi are seeking a site to introduce Victoria to Odd Burger's affordable, mainstream, healthy, and satisfying vegan fast food.
The Victoria location is projected to open within three months of site selection and permit approvals. It will follow the model of Odd Burger's successful restaurants in Ontario — compact footprints optimized for fast service, takeout and delivery, affordability, and simplified employee training. Odd Burger smart kitchens feature modern on-demand cooking technology, online ordering, self-checkout kiosks, and cashless transactions.
"Victoria is the ideal spot to begin our West Coast takeover, and our partners Luke and John are ready to bring our brand to their city," James McInnes, Odd Burger co-founder and CEO, said in the release. "The community will love our indulgent, iconic fast food without the guilt, made from wholesome ingredients like chickpeas, jackfruit and fresh veggies."
