The brand is looking to expand its presence in key territories across Ontario, Canada, including Toronto, Durham, Kitchener-Waterloo, Markham, Richmond Hill, Hamilton and Barrie. These four new agreements are expected to net the brand nine new franchised locations.

- Denise Muller will develop one location in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario
