Redberry Restaurants Announces Agreement with Burger King Canada for Major Expansion Across Quebec, New Development in Saskatche...

Redberry Restaurants announces today an Area Development Agreement with Burger King Corporation to develop 50 new Burger King restaurants in Quebec and 15 new restaurants in Saskatchewan over the next five years. An additional 60 Burger King restaurants are scheduled for remodelling, which is more than half of the current Redberry-owned Burger King locations.

Redberry currently owns and operates 16 Burger King restaurants in Quebec, and more than 102 locations across Ontario and Manitoba. This newly inked Development plan would significantly expand Redberry’s existing footprint across Quebec and offers an important new development opportunity into Saskatchewan.

“The strategic expansion of 50 new Burger King restaurants in Quebec would more than triple our current presence in this pivotal marketplace, while our plans to open 15 restaurants in Saskatchewan would allow us to expand into a fourth province.” says Ken Otto, CEO Redberry. “Our proven track record of opening many successful restaurants shows how accelerated growth is possible with our talented team members and Burger King Franchisor Partner. We have extremely ambitious plans to continue our rapid growth in 2021 and beyond.”

Redberry has successfully accelerated their development with the opening of seven new Burger King locations this year with an additional nine locations to open before year end. This would bring Redberry’s total count of Burger King restaurants to 127 units representing more than 40 per cent of Burger King restaurants in Canada.

Redberry plans to build and acquire an additional 168 new Burger King restaurants over the coming years, which would more than double its current size.

“We’re excited to continue our partnership with Redberry to rapidly grow the Burger King brand in Canada, making iconic items like the Whopper sandwich accessible to even more guests,” said Matt Wright, General Manager, Burger King Canada. “We’re confident in Redberry to deliver on guest expectations and to continue growing our footprint across the country."

With an expansive pipeline for new Burger King restaurants across the four provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, Quebec, and Saskatchewan, Redberry aims to generate more than 4,000 new local employment opportunities to support its significant build-out plans.
