Taste of Mediterranean
OUR STORY
EXPANSION CONTINUES….
Opening Several NEW Locations in 2023
ONTARIO – ALBERTA – SASKATCHEWAN- MANITOBA – NOVA SCOTIA
It all began on January 6, 2004. The First Restaurant of Taste of Mediterranean opened its doors in Canada. While a lot has changed since 2004, our commitment to bring you the Best in Mediterranean Food has not.
Sam Hussein, the President of our Canadian Company has lived in 3 different continents and looked at over 300 locations in 2003. Sam opened the first restaurant with only $30,000 including equipment. The response was overwhelming. From 2004 to 2006, Sam received 6 buyout offers and this convinced him that he was into something. In 2006, he decided to open a second Location and in 2007 he started looking into Franchise Opportunities and a new Franchise Company was formed.
From 2007 to 2012, Sam studied the whole Franchise System and how to improve it. The first couple of locations had strictly Greek Menu but he wanted something different to compete with other Greek Franchise Systems and started looking into other Mediterranean food and we added Lebanese food to our menu to make it more authentic Mediterranean food. Taste of Mediterranean serves both Greek and Lebanese food. We started out with Quick Service restaurants, then Opened food Court Location.
At the end of 2012, we were finally ready to move forward and started signing Franchisees for Ontario.
In 2013, We started opening locations in Ontario and Manitoba for Franchisees and some of our locations are now OPEN FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS FOR FRANCHISEES…….
Taste of Mediterranean offers a Fast Food, casual dining experience with an open kitchen concept that allows guests to watch their meal roasting on our Shawarma and Gyro Spit and capture our blend of spices. All our meals are made right in front of your eyes.
Our Menu consist of several Greek and Lebanese Dishes.
In 2022, we opened our new concept “MEXICANA KITCHEN, the first Mexicana Kitchen was open in October 2022 in Ajax for a Franchisee and in process of opening several NEW Restaurants in 2023 for both Taste of Mediterranean and Mexicana Kitchen
