Vegan QSR Franchise Expansions

Odd Burger Announces Plans for a New Ottawa Location

— November 29, 2021 — Business
Odd Burger, the popular vegan fast-food chain, recently announced it has signed a new franchise agreement to open a restaurant in Ottawa. The new location comes as part of the brand's larger mission to expand throughout North America to deliver accessible plant-based foods across the country.

“Odd-awa is key to making Odd Burger a national chain, and we now have the right partners to bring our brand to the capital,” said James McInnes, Odd Burger co-founder and CEO. “We think this community is ready for superior fast food and our classic menu of burgers, wings, and shakes, from wholesome ingredients like chickpeas, jackfruit, and fresh veggies.”

Charlotte Dietz and Leo Grant are the new franchisees taking on the challenge. The location is projected to serve guests three months after the location has been selected and permits have been approved. The restaurant will follow Odd Burger's compact footprint that's optimized for affordable and fast takeout and delivery.
