The Great Boston Pizza Franchise Face-Off: Counting Dough (Literally)
Ah, Boston Pizza. The land of endless customization, questionable sports jerseys on display, and a menu thicker than a phone book in the 90s. But have you ever wondered, as you strategize your perfect pizza pile (pineapple, fight me!), just how many Boston Pizzas are out there in the wild? Buckle up, because we're about to embark on a hilarious journey to unravel the truth.
Franchise Facts: A Numbers Game (with a Side of Laughter)
Here's the thing: Boston Pizza isn't just content with being a Canadian icon. They've set their sights on world domination, one delicious slice at a time. But how many franchises exactly? Well, that depends on where you grab your slice.
- The Great White North: In Canada, Boston Pizza reigns supreme. Over 370 restaurants dot the maple syrup-soaked landscape, making them practically a national monument (alongside beavers and Celine Dion, of course).
- South of the Border (and a Bit East): Craving a taste of Boston Pizza south of the wall? You'll have to settle for its alter ego, Boston's Pizza. They've got over 50 locations whistling a different tune in the US and Mexico.
So, the big reveal: how many franchises in total? Add it all up, and you're looking at over 420 Boston Pizza (or Boston's) locations. That's a whole lotta pizza parties!
Fun Fact Frenzy: Did You Know?
- The very first Boston Pizza wasn't just about pizzaz (sorry, I couldn't resist). It started out in 1964 as "Boston Pizza and Spaghetti House." Talk about a mouthful!
- Apparently, world domination wasn't always the plan. The name "Boston Pizza" was actually chosen because the founders thought it sounded fancy. Fancy, huh?
