Foodtastic moves to challenge the dominance of Tim Hortons, McCafé and Starbucks in Canada

A successful bid for MTY Food Group would see the Montreal-based franchisor control two of the country’s largest coffee chains, and follows a recent licensing agreement to relaunch US coffee giant Dunkin’ in the market

QSR franchise group Foodtastic is seeking a greater slice of Canada’s branded coffee shop market after publicly moving to acquire competitor MTY Food Group.

Foodtastic currently operates 1,200 outlets across 25 quick-serve brands in Canada, including 158-store Second Cup Café.
