New York Fries is a Canadian quick-service franchise known for its premium fresh-cut fries, classic poutines, and all-beef hot dogs. Founded in 1984 by brothers Jay and Hal Gould, the first Canadian location opened in 1984 at the Scarborough Town Centre in Ontario.
Although inspired by a fry stand in New York City, the brand proudly operates as a Canadian company. It is headquartered in Vaughan, Ontario, and became part of Recipe Unlimited Corporation in 2015.
Franchising began in 2021, just a year after the brand’s official Canadian launch. The menu focuses on hand-cut fries cooked in non-hydrogenated sunflower oil, with creative poutine variations like butter chicken and pulled pork. All-beef hot dogs are also part of its simple yet appealing lineup.
What sets New York Fries apart is its unwavering commitment to quality and operational simplicity. Its signature three-stage cooking process delivers consistently crispy fries. The streamlined menu helps reduce food waste and simplifies operations for franchisees.
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.

New York Fries provides its franchisees with a non-exclusive territorial license. This means that while the franchisor agrees not to operate or grant another franchise using the New York Fries system within the specific territory assigned in the agreement, the franchisee is not protected from competition outside that territory.
The franchisor and its affiliates retain the right to sell products through various channels, including internet and mobile platforms, even within the franchisee’s territory.
Moreover, the franchisor explicitly reserves all rights not granted in the agreement, such as the ability to establish other locations or distribute products under the brand outside the defined territory.
