Odd Burger Completes Construction of London, ON Location, Two More to Open Soon
TORONTO, Aug. 3, 2021 /CNW/ - Odd Burger Corporation (TSXV: ODD), one of the world's first vegan fast-food chains and first to go public, announced today its newest location in London, Ontario is largely complete and is scheduled to open mid-August. Odd Burger South London (645 Commissioners Road East) brings the chain's total to four locations, with two additional restaurants set to open soon.
The company's Vaughan, ON location (9960 Dufferin Street) held its grand opening Sunday August 1, and treated the neighborhood to 99-cent non-dairy soft-serve ice cream all day and swag bags for the first 50 customers. Half of all profits from grand opening sales were donated to The Save Movement, a global grassroots organization founded in Toronto that works to save animals, save the climate, and save human health.
Odd Burger also announced progress at its Waterloo, ON (75 King Street South) and Hamilton, ON (920 Upper Wentworth Street) locations. Construction is well underway, and both are expected to meet projected opening dates of August and September, respectively.
All new stores incorporate the new Odd Burger brand and design in interior decor and signage.
"I appreciate our team for their dedication and hard work opening these new locations, especially considering the obstacles created by the pandemic," said Odd Burger co-founder and CEO James McInnes. "We have essentially tripled our footprint compared to just a few months ago, and the result is we've dramatically expanded the availability of plant-based food that is healthier, more humane, and more sustainable than typical fast-food options."
Odd Burger plans to open 20 locations by this time next year, including a flagship New York City restaurant in Manhattan.
In addition to Vaughan, Toronto (492 College Street), and Windsor (13458 Tecumseh Road East) restaurants, Odd Burger also operates a manufacturing facility in London, ON, where it creates and distributes its proprietary foodservice line of plant-based proteins and dairy alternatives such as burgers, chickUN, sausage and dairy-free sauces.
