One of the country’s leading casual family dining brands, Boston Pizza combines the sports bar atmosphere and big-screen televisions along with a family-friendly casual dining experience, all under one roof. And most of the restaurants also feature an outdoor patio where guests can sit back and enjoy. Known for its gourmet pizzas made with its signature hand pressed dough, the extensive menu is designed to satisfy every appetite along with the pasta dishes and a wide variety of salads, entrées and desserts. All this while the sports bar component is fun for families as well as for teams and groups of all ages. Since its first location opened in Edmonton in 1984, the franchise chain has grown to number over 390 locations across Canada. In the Quebec market since 2005, the chain is now actively seeking growth, targeting several markets including Ste-Hyacinthe, Lachute, Laval, Granby, Trois-Rivières, Montreal and the West Island area, Rivière Du Loup, Victoriaville, Bromont and Mont Tremblant. Martine Theriault at Lexia Immobilier has been retained to handle the site selection in the province and notes that the typical Boston Pizza is in the 5000 to 6000 square foot range and has seating for 160 to 225 and provisions for a patio area. The restaurants seek high profile sites near ‘traffic generators’ such as regional malls, power, entertainment and lifestyle centres and large offices projects.
