What do you appreciate about the support you get from the franchisor?

- The support we get from the Denny’s team is phenomenal! Unlike other Franchisors that force you to jump through hoops, and climb ladders to get answers, our team is easy to access. I just pick up the phone and call Bobby OR John, I know that they have the information I need.

- With almost 20 years of Denny’s Management under my belt I can confidently say that the support team is as committed to assisting us, as we are committed to running our business

Why did you choose this brand?

- Denny’s is one of the fastest growing family dining chains across the globe and we wanted to bring that trusted International brand into our local community!

- Time is best spent sharing a meal with those you love and as we say in Denny’s “we love to feed people”. We offer delicious, comforting and affordable food options for everyone in a “Come as you are” environment!

What excites you about this space?

- I started my Denny’s journey as a Restaurant manager 19 years ago and transitioned into Franchising about 14 years ago. Since then, we’ve opened our second location in 2016 and then the third one in 2020! Throughout this experience, I’ve personally and professionally learned so much from the people I’ve met.

- It’s really rewarding to lead a team that delivers not just meals, but also a warm, welcoming atmosphere where memories are made. Every day brings new faces and stories, making it a truly exciting place to be!

The Denny’s franchise network truly resembles a close-knit family, where franchisees support and inspire each other, facilitating mutual success and growth. One of the most significant advantages of being a franchisee is the reliable operational support. The corporate team offers invaluable resources in areas such as marketing, supply chain management, and customer service, which enables me to concentrate on what I am passionate about — growing my business.

What makes me proud to be an owner-operator is continuing the legacy that Denny's has built in Canada over the last 55 years. Denny's is involved in a lot of community engagement and various charities and initiatives. That makes me proud to enable and make a difference with the guests and serve the everyday guests that come into our restaurants.
