QuickBite Collective, a Canadian quick-service restaurant operator, is continuing its rapid expansion across Canada with 75 active locations and six more under construction.

The company’s recent growth follows its acquisition of three fast-casual brands, Teriyaki Experience, Burgers n’ Fries Forever (BFF), and Maverick’s Donut Company, each of which has contributed to its national presence, according to Retail Insider. While no additional brand acquisitions are currently planned, the company is focused on expanding within its current portfolio, prioritizing franchise support, cultural diversity, and modern consumer expectations.

Founded in late 2024, QuickBite has positioned itself as a next-generation operator within Canada’s quick-service dining sector. Its growth strategy centers on relevance and adaptability, with an emphasis on providing operational infrastructure to franchisees and building culturally resonant brands.

The most established of its three restaurants is Teriyaki Experience, a 40-year-old Canadian brand currently undergoing a transformation. With 40 acquired locations, the brand is rolling out a refreshed identity, streamlined menu, and enhanced guest experience. One to two additional locations are planned by the end of 2025. Teriyaki Experience maintains a presence primarily in Ontario, along with outposts in New Brunswick, Quebec, British Columbia, and six international sites in Costa Rica, Honduras, and Italy.

Burgers n’ Fries Forever (BFF), a Toronto-based halal smash burger brand, is experiencing the fastest expansion under QuickBite’s umbrella. Since acquiring the concept in November 2024, the company has grown BFF from two to five operational locations, with six more under construction. Earlier this year, the company announced that, by the end of 2025, the brand is expected to operate 15 to 16 locations, concentrated in Ontario, with expansion planned for British Columbia.

Maverick’s Donut Company, a visually driven, social-media-friendly brand known for customizable gourmet donuts, rounds out the portfolio. The company had 25 locations at the time of acquisition and continues to grow, primarily in Ontario and Alberta. Its popularity is rooted in eye-catching product presentation and diverse flavor offerings.

QuickBite Collective’s focus remains on deepening consumer connection and supporting franchisees through structured operations and localized brand strategy. While not currently seeking to acquire new brands, the team is committed to executing growth across its existing lineup through careful market selection and continued brand development.
