The Great Canadian Pizza Mystery: How Much of Boston Pizza Does Jim REALLY Own?
Ah, Boston Pizza. Home of the endless debate over pineapple as a topping (this writer firmly stands on #TeamPineapple), the giant TV screens showing every hockey game ever played, and of course, the question that has baffled philosophers for generations: How much of Boston Pizza does Jim Treliving actually own?
From Franchisee to Franchise Overlord
It all starts back in the swinging sixties, when a young Jim Treliving, fresh off a stint with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (because you just can't make this story up), gets a hankering for a slice of the good life (and by good life, we mean delicious pizza). He stumbles upon a little place called Boston Pizza and, with a nose for opportunity sharper than cheddar cheese, decides to open his own franchise.
Fast forward a couple of decades, and Jim, along with his business partner George Melville (a financial whiz who probably wouldn't touch pineapple with a ten-foot tongs), have become Boston Pizza powerhouses. They're not just slinging dough anymore, they're buying up the whole bakery.
The Big Slice of the Pie
Tip: Use the structure of the text to guide you.
Here's where things get juicy. In 2017, there's a business shakeup that would make a boardroom brawl look like a kindergarten tea party. Jim and George decide to go their separate ways, and Jim emerges victorious, holding 100% ownership of Boston Pizza International Inc. That's right, folks, Jim went from franchisee to full-fledged pizza king.
So, How Much Pizza Does Jim Own? All of It, Buddy. All of It.
There you have it. The mystery is solved! Jim Treliving owns enough Boston Pizza to feed a whole hockey team (and probably a few Zamboni drivers).
Hey, Wait a Minute! But What About...?
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
Hold your horses, conspiracy theorists! There are a few other players in the Boston Pizza game:
- Franchise Owners: These brave souls run individual Boston Pizza locations under the corporate umbrella.
- Boston Pizza Royalties Income Fund: This is a financial thing that lets people invest in Boston Pizza's success, but doesn't give them control of the company.
But Jim's still the big cheese, right?
Exactly.
