“I thought with a franchise, it would be more of a change, and I absolutely really like the idea of franchising and having a focus-directed brand, etc. And, then I started looking at four or five different franchises in the beginning. It was Mr. Mikes, who I thought was the most professional with their response…I had the best feeling with them right out of the gate…I looked at the menu and I thought ‘we’re northern Alberta’ and I felt like the (Mr. Mikes) menu and the drinks and everything about that part of the brand really fit with Peace River…That’s one thing I liked about Mr. Mikes after getting their franchise information is their focus on training. We have a training team here for a month. There’s 13 people from various Mr. Mikes locations for a month’s training of our staff.”

“People want a full experience – with a franchise I think you’re able to offer so much more in terms of service and consistency…You can trust the brand.”
