Freshslice Pizza is a Canadian fast-casual pizza franchise founded in 1999 by Ray Russell in Vancouver, British Columbia. Headquartered at 1610 Ingleton Avenue, Burnaby, BC, the company began franchising in 2003 and has since expanded to over 100 locations across Canada.
Freshslice offers a diverse menu featuring pizza by the slice, whole pizzas, and customizable options with unlimited toppings for a single price.
Their offerings include Classic pizzas like Cheese, Pepperoni, and Veggie, as well as Feast pizzas such as BBQ Chicken Bacon, Butter Chicken, and Meat Lovers. The brand emphasizes healthier choices by using multigrain dough and fresh ingredients.
What sets Freshslice apart is its franchise model designed for affordability and efficiency. Franchisees benefit from a 0% royalty fee, 0% advertising fee, and 0% markup on ingredients, allowing for higher profit margins. The company also boasts a unique dough manufacturing system that enhances productivity.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Freshslice Pizza provides a structured and multi-phase training program to equip franchisees for effective operation of their business. Here are the key components of the training provided by the franchisor:
Freshslice Pizza does not provide exclusive or protected territories to its franchisees. The franchisor reserves the right to establish and operate other Freshslice Pizza restaurants or grant licenses to third parties for locations near, adjacent to, or even in close proximity to an existing franchise.
This open-territory model means that franchisees may face competition from other franchise units operated by Freshslice or its licensees within their vicinity.
The absence of territory protection allows Freshslice Pizza flexibility in brand expansion but may limit the competitive edge of individual franchise locations.
