Franchising Opportunities

Expand the Flavours of Greece — Become a Little Gyros Franchise Partner

Little Gyros Greek Grill offers a compelling opportunity for entrepreneurs passionate about food, community, and service. Our brand is built on authentic Greek cuisine, community engagement, and a scalable, replicable business model. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning and operating your own restaurant — with the support, systems, and backing of an established brand — this is your invitation to join Little Gyros.

Why Franchise with Little Gyros?

  • Authentic, High-Quality Food
    Our recipes are rooted in tradition, with fresh ingredients and time-tested techniques. Guests know that when they see Little Gyros, they’ll get the real deal.

  • Proven Business Model
    We’ve refined our operations, menu, and systems locally in Kitchener and Breslau. As a franchisee, you’ll benefit from that learned experience rather than starting from scratch.

  • Brand Recognition and Local Appeal
    Being part of a regional brand meaningfully connected to your community helps you stand out. We aim to be the preferred Greek grill in Southern Ontario.

  • Comprehensive Support & Training
    We provide guidance across site selection, design, build-out, employee training, launching, marketing, and ongoing operations.

  • Multiple Revenue Streams
    Each location can derive revenue not just from in-store dining and takeout, but also from catering, group orders, and special events.

  • Collaborative Franchise Network
    You won’t be on your own. Franchisees are part of a network—sharing best practices, local marketing ideas, operational feedback, and growth plans.

Franchise Offering & Territories

We are currently exploring expansion in Kitchener–Waterloo, Breslau, Cambridge, Guelph, and surrounding areas. Select territories will be exclusive (i.e., limited to one franchisee per trade area) to ensure market stability and opportunity.

Each franchise agreement will include:

  • A defined territory (exclusive rights within a set trade radius)

  • A multi-year term with renewal options

  • Support in site selection, layout, and brand design

  • Access to proprietary recipes, supply chain partners, and menu innovation

Who We’re Looking For

Successful Little Gyros franchise partners typically share these qualities:

  • A passion for great food, hospitality, and service

  • Strong work ethic and willingness to be hands-on (especially early on)

  • Business acumen or willingness to learn — financial oversight, staff management, marketing

  • Commitment to brand standards, consistency, and quality

  • Ability to build relationships in their community and drive local engagement

  • Preferably some experience in operations, retail, hospitality, or franchise businesses

Multi-unit development partners with regional or growth ambitions are also welcome to discuss strategic territory agreements.

Your Investment & Requirements

While exact figures will vary by location, size, lease, and build-out, below is a ballpark for what to expect (to be confirmed in the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) or equivalent):

  • Franchise fee: $28,000

  • Estimated total investment (including lease, equipment, signage, initial inventory, etc.): CAD $150,000 – $200,000

  • Royalty / ongoing fees: 4%

  • Marketing / advertising contribution: 2%

Detailed financials, projections, and disclosures will be shared with qualified candidates after an initial screening.

Training & Onboarding Support

We believe strong support is key to your success:

  1. Pre-opening training — You’ll spend time at our flagship or pilot location(s) to learn day-to-day operations, recipe prep, service, and management.

  2. Site and build-out assistance — We help you with lease negotiation, layout planning, décor, equipment sourcing, and contractor recommendations.

  3. Grand Opening guidance — Marketing assets, local PR support, staff ramp-up plans, soft-opening strategy, and launch-day playbook.

  4. Ongoing support — Regular check-ins, field visits, quarterly business reviews, menu updates, and access to the franchise community for shared learning.
