The Franchise Show - Toronto, Canada
Toronto, Ontario • February 20 & 21, 2010
11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Not all shows are the same. Many, while claiming to be franchise shows, have few franchise exhibitors and in many cases showcase low-investment business opportunities that tend to lack the support typical of franchise systems. This 2-day show is designed to let you meet the industry's most accomplished franchisors face-to-face.

Come and learn more about specific companies and the industry as a whole. Franchises offer the support, the systems, and the brand name recognition to help you succeed from the start!

* Make invaluable connections with credible franchisors.
* Learn from free informative seminars.
* Talk one-on-one with experts at the Ask The Experts booth.
* Meet over 100 franchise systems.


If you are looking to join a franchise, The Franchise Show is definitely a must! Don't be fooled by imitations. The Franchise Show is the largest tradeshow produced by the Canadian Franchise Association, the industry's only national trade association and The National Voice for Canadian Franchising.
