BARRIE, Ont. — Fatburger has opened its newest restaurant at 535 Bayfield St in Barrie, Ont. This milestone opening marks the chain’s 72nd establishment across Canada.
The Barrie location is owned and operated by new franchisees Anand and Deepika Mishra, who have more than a decade of experience in the foodservice-and-hospitality industry in the U.K., India, and Canada.
“Bringing Fatburger to Barrie represents all the years of determination and passion,” says Anand Mishra. “As a husband-and-wife team, this is more than just a business — it’s our commitment to excellence and our belief in making exceptional food.”
The Mishra’s path to restaurant ownership exemplifies remarkable resilience. In 2020, just one year after moving to Canada, they suffered a devastating setback when they lost everything in a house fire — no belongings, no paperwork, no stability. But even in the face of that loss, they didn’t give up on their Canadian dream.
“That moment could have defined us, but instead, it refined us,” Mishra reflects. “We persevered through it all, and eventually secured our first home, and now we are launching this business.”
Today, with two young children and one big dream, the Mishras are proud to open their very own restaurant and become a part of the vibrant Barrie community.
The restaurant maintains Fatburger’s commitment to quality, featuring its signature burgers made with fresh, never-frozen Alberta beef, hand-pressed and grilled to order. The menu also includes specialty burgers, crispy chicken sandwiches, World Famous Buffalo’s wings, hand-battered chicken tenders, and its Best Anywhere Milkshakes, complemented by fresh-cut fries and made-to-order onion rings.
To accommodate modern dining preferences, the new Barrie location offers multiple ordering options seven days a week, including dine-in service, convenient mobile ordering through the Fatburger Canada app, and delivery through major delivery platforms.
