Shindico Realty Inc., exclusive tenant representative for Boston Pizza in Manitoba, has announced the opening of a new Boston Pizza in late 2013 in Winnipeg in a Safeway-anchored mall in the North Kildonan area of Winnipeg.
The Enright Group, a leading Boston Pizza franchisee, also has plans to open a franchise in Steinbach, company co-owner Richard Enright said.
The two additions will give Enright Group, owned by Enright and his wife, Kim, 13 Boston Pizza franchises in the province. It already has nine in Winnipeg and one each in Selkirk and Portage la Prairie.
But they have no intention of stopping at 13 restaurants. "There is a demand for our brand, and there are still a number of areas where there's lots of potential [for expansion], including west Winnipeg and out by Sage Creek [in southeast Winnipeg]," he said.
The Enrights opened their first Boston Pizza franchise 15 years ago at Portage Avenue and Moray Street. They also own franchises in Ontario.
Richmond, B.C.-based Boston Pizza International Inc. has more than 340 restaurants in Canada and has been recognized as one of Canada's 50 best-managed companies.
A Boston Pizza franchise requires a total investment of from $1.7 million to $3.1 million, with an initial franchise fee of $40,000.
