COLUMBUS, Ohio — The U.S.-based breakfast and lunch chain Sunny Street Café is expanding into Canada, with the first sites slated to open in the West.
Café owners and developers expect to see the franchise grow in all four western provinces and the territories. The first location is set to open in Edmonton this summer, under the management of area developer and franchisee Percy Johnson, who hopes to open 40 locations over the next 10 years.
“Sunny Street Café has tremendous growth potential in Canada,” said Scott Moffitt, president of Sunny Street Café. “The Canadian breakfast and lunch segment is evolving quickly, and we see a tremendous opportunity to capture a significant portion of the niche. Access to growth capital and the availability of excellent real estate sites have never been better.”
The café’s Canadian menu will mirror its American counterpart, with some regional tweaks. It will feature fresh-cut fruits, salads and sandwiches and signature dishes such as the Stuffed French Toast and Bananas Foster Pancakes. Locally sourced and produced foods will be served.
