Introduced by veteran restaurateur and franchisor Jim Cam in early 2024, Onigiri Shop has just celebrated the grand opening of its 27th location, an 850 square foot end cap unit at Salthill Capital’s Carrefour De La Seigneurie in Blainville in Montreal’s North Shore area. Onigiri Shop is a quick service concept featuring Japanese onigiri, a traditional rice-based food that is typically shaped into a triangle or other convenient form and filled with a variety of ingredients. Onigiri Shop emphasizes food that is handcrafted and fresh, positioning onigiri as an accessible and convenient meal or snack. The menu highlights popular varieties including Fresh Salmon, Spicy Tuna, and Korean Chicken, demonstrating a menu that combines traditional Japanese food with contemporary flavour choices. The company has developed a growing network of locations, particularly in and around the Greater Montreal area. Designed as small, footprint efficient, quick service counters, the franchise chain offers takeout, pickup, and delivery services, making the brand suited to customers seeking convenient meals. The company also provides catering and group-order services and offers franchise opportunities, indicating a business model designed for continued expansion.
