At Harvey's we have a Franchise with your name on it!
Harvey’s is Canada’s largest homegrown burger chain. Since 1959, Harvey’s has been making hamburgers “a beautiful thing” by freshly grilling and custom garnishing every burger, just the way our guests want them. Strong brand awareness and product quality, combined with marketing and training support, make Harvey’s a great franchise. We offer the opportunity to replicate our recipe for success with a reputable, established company with 46 years experience in franchising and 49 years in business.
Why Harvey’s
Reason #1: Strong Brand Concept
The #1 reason to choose a Harvey’s franchise is because of the strength of the Harvey’s brand. Our history, strong brand recognition, and reputation as Canada’s best tasting burger chain provide a strong and proven concept.
Reason #2: Leverage Cara’s Scale
Harvey’s is owned and supported by Cara Operations Limited –one of Canada’s oldest and largest branded restaurant companies with over 1.3 billion in annual sales from some of Canada’s leading restaurant brands; Swiss Chalet, Kelsey’s, Montana’s and Milestone’s. Cara’s size enables Harvey’s and our franchisees to take advantage of their scale in Marketing, Product Development, Purchasing, Real Estate, and Information Technology.
Reason #3: Strong Marketing Support
All Harvey’s locations contribute 4% of sales to the Harvey’s Marketing fund which provides brand building support including TV and radio advertising, promotions, and in-store merchandising materials to promote the brand and help grow sales.
Reason #4: Site Selection
We understand that finding the right site is pivotal. Cara Operations Limited has an in-house real estate department that has strong relationships with the major landlords and real estate developers across Canada.
Reason #5: Extensive Training
Harvey’s Franchise Leadership Certification training program is a 12 week program designed to be the industry standard in equipping you to successfully and confidently operate your business.
