MR MIKES Restaurants Corp. has announced a six-store multi-unit franchise agreement in Atlantic Canada for its Mr Mikes SteakhouseCasual restaurants, marking the brand’s first expansion into the region and a major step in its national growth strategy. The agreement reflects the company’s continued momentum following strong performance across Western Canada and Ontario. President, COO Tony Zidar said the expansion into Atlantic Canada has been a strategic priority and demonstrates growing confidence in the MR MIKES brand among experienced restaurant operators. The Atlantic Canada deal follows several recent milestones for the company, including seven new restaurant openings in 2025, surpassing 50 locations nationwide, and the signing of a five-store franchise agreement in Ontario earlier this year. MR MIKES attributes its growth to its ‘SteakhouseCasual’ concept, which combines approachable dining, authentic hospitality, and its signature urbanLODGE lounge atmosphere. Director of Sales & Franchising Andy Lewicki added that consecutive multi-unit agreements highlight strong demand for the brand’s scalable business model and operational support system. Founded in 1960, MR MIKES is a Burnaby, B.C.-based steakhouse chain operating primarily in suburban and smaller communities across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario, with further expansion planned nationwide. The restaurants feature a menu that ranges from its signature steaks and Mikeburgers to its branded wines and beer.
