TORONTO, Aug. 3, 2021 /CNW/ - Odd Burger Corporation
(TSXV: ODD), one of the world's first vegan fast-food chains and
first to go public, announced today its newest location in
London, Ontario is largely
complete and is scheduled to open mid-August. Odd Burger South
London (645 Commissioners Road East) brings the chain's total to
four locations, with two additional restaurants set to open
soon.
The company's Vaughan, ON
location (9960 Dufferin Street) held
its grand opening Sunday August 1,
and treated the neighborhood to 99-cent non-dairy soft-serve ice cream all day
and swag bags for the first 50 customers. Half of all profits from
grand opening sales were donated to The Save Movement, a global
grassroots organization founded in Toronto that works to save animals, save the
climate, and save human health.
Odd Burger also announced progress at its Waterloo, ON (75 King
Street South) and Hamilton,
ON (920 Upper Wentworth Street) locations. Construction is
well underway, and both are expected to meet projected opening
dates of August and September, respectively.
All new stores incorporate the new Odd Burger brand and design
in interior decor and signage.
"I appreciate our team for their dedication and hard work
opening these new locations, especially considering the obstacles
created by the pandemic," said Odd Burger co-founder and CEO
James McInnes. "We have essentially
tripled our footprint compared to just a few months ago, and the
result is we've dramatically expanded the availability of
plant-based food that is healthier, more humane, and more
sustainable than typical fast-food options."
Odd Burger plans to open 20 locations by this time next year,
including a flagship New York City
restaurant in Manhattan.
In addition to Vaughan,
Toronto (492 College Street), and
Windsor (13458 Tecumseh Road East)
restaurants, Odd Burger also operates a manufacturing facility in
London, ON, where it creates and
distributes its proprietary foodservice line of plant-based
proteins and dairy alternatives such as burgers, chickUN, sausage
and dairy-free sauces.
