The multi-unit deal is part of Mr Mikes’s ongoing expansion and follows earlier announcements that outlined its growth plans.
The brand added seven new outlets in 2025.
Mr Mikes SteakhouseCasual president and COO Tony Zidar said: “As we continue to drive the organic growth of our brand, we are absolutely thrilled to welcome an experienced multiunit franchisee to the Mr Mikes’s ‘fammunity’.
“This five-store agreement is a meaningful milestone as we expand deeper into Ontario and prepare for Atlantic Canada.
“It reflects both the strength of the brand and the confidence franchisees have in our long-term vision. There’s a clear path ahead, and I couldn’t be more excited about the future, with site selection in Ontario already underway.”
The company links the new agreement to its franchise support framework, which it says covers recruitment, site selection guidance, operational training, marketing assistance and ongoing business development services.
Mr Mikes SteakhouseCasual sales and franchising director Andy Lewicki said: “We take pride in setting our franchise ‘fammunity’ up for success.
“To see a seasoned operator commit to a five-location development deal speaks volumes about our people, our processes, and the brand momentum we’re building.
“Demand is growing, and operators are recognising the scalability and sustainability of the Mr Mikes model, helping to move us towards our goal of reaching 100 locations.”
Mr Mikes SteakhouseCasual currently runs 50 restaurants across Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan.
The company is pursuing a target of 100 locations nationwide and is looking for additional franchise partners to support its expansion strategy.
