Why Sunnyside, why now
A breakfast brand built for owners.
Breakfast is the meal people refuse to skip. Sunnyside has been serving it in Ontario since 2004, and we still have plenty of room for new franchisees and multi-unit owners.
Breakfast keeps growing
The global breakfast food market was valued at $398.1 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $729.5 billion by 2030. People are choosing breakfast as the meal they won't miss.
A system since 2004
Sunnyside's model has grown with industry trends for over 20 years: a focused menu, an open kitchen, owner-operated restaurants and a brand guests already know.
Support from day one
Our team helps with real estate and site selection, lease negotiation, construction, hiring, training, food innovation, operations, marketing and social media.
