The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill Master License

Expand The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill Across Canada

The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill is a fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant franchise with 80+ locations worldwide. Founded by 3rd-generation restaurateurs with deep roots in Mediterranean food culture, the brand offers an authentic yet accessible Mediterranean dining experience: fresh ingredients, housemade preparations, and quality-driven execution at approachable prices.

The Great Greek is part of Big Flavor Brands and United Franchise Group (UFG), a franchise organization with 1,600+ franchise locations in 60+ countries. The brand brings together fine-dining culinary standards with fast-casual operational efficiency, creating a differentiated market position in the growing Mediterranean cuisine category.

THE MASTER LICENSE OPPORTUNITY

A Canadian Master License grants you the exclusive rights to develop The Great Greek across the country. You will be the brand's official representative in Canada, responsible for opening flagship locations and recruiting, training, and supporting franchisees to build a national network.

The revenue model includes profits from your own flagship locations, franchise fees from each new operator you bring into the system, and ongoing royalty income from your expanding network. Canada's restaurant market sophistication, urban density in major metros, and growing consumer interest in Mediterranean and healthy dining create favorable conditions for multi-unit franchise growth.

WHY CANADA?

Canada's restaurant industry is mature, professionally operated, and actively adopting franchise systems. Major Canadian cities—Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary—have high densities of affluent consumers who dine out regularly and seek quality, health-conscious, non-traditional dining options. The Mediterranean cuisine category is growing faster than the overall casual dining sector, driven by consumer preference for Mediterranean diet benefits and fresh, ingredient-forward cooking.

Canada's franchise culture means prospective multi-unit operators understand the model and actively evaluate new brands that offer strong operational systems and differentiation. The country's business environment is stable, regulations are consistent across provinces, and Canadian restaurateurs have access to capital. For The Great Greek, Canada represents an immediate expansion opportunity into a market that values quality, authenticity, and operational excellence—the brand's core strengths.

YOUR ROLE AS MASTER LICENSEE

• Open and operate flagship The Great Greek locations in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, and other major markets
• Recruit experienced multi-unit restaurant operators and franchise groups aligned with the brand's quality standards
• Provide training and ongoing operational support to franchisees on culinary standards, food preparation, and brand execution

TRAINING & SUPPORT

Training begins with an intensive program at UFG headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, covering operations, food preparation standards, supplier management, menu execution, franchisee recruitment, and brand positioning. UFG then provides on-site support during your Canadian flagship launches.

Ongoing support includes access to proprietary culinary standards and recipes, supplier relationship guidance, marketing campaign support, franchisee development support, regular strategic reviews, and continuity with your dedicated international team. UFG has built successful franchise networks across North America and understands the Canadian market's opportunities and operational requirements.

IDEAL CANDIDATE

The ideal Canadian partner is an experienced restaurant operator or multi-unit franchise group with a track record of success in upscale casual dining, fast-casual, or QSR environments.

This could be an established Canadian restaurant company looking to diversify into a growth-stage franchise, a regional multi-unit operator expanding nationally, or a private equity group focused on restaurant concepts. Prior Mediterranean restaurant experience is valuable but not required.

What matters is operational discipline, culinary appreciation, the ability to recruit and manage multi-unit franchisees, and access to capital for flagship development.
