Redberry CEO Ken Otto said: “The strategic expansion of 50 new Burger King restaurants in Quebec would more than triple our current presence in this pivotal marketplace, while our plans to open 15 restaurants in Saskatchewan would allow us to expand into a fourth province.

“Our proven track record of opening many successful restaurants shows how accelerated growth is possible with our talented team members and Burger King franchisor partner. We have extremely ambitious plans to continue our rapid growth in 2021 and beyond.”

Burger King Canada general manager Matt Wright said: “We’re excited to continue our partnership with Redberry to rapidly grow the Burger King brand in Canada, making iconic items like the Whopper sandwich accessible to even more guests.

“We’re confident in Redberry to deliver on guest expectations and to continue growing our footprint across the country.”

This year Redberry has opened seven new Burger King locations and plans to open another nine before the end of the year.

The restaurant franchise also signed a deal to acquire 14 Taco Bell locations across Ontario in July.
