New Cora suns are rising in Western Canada!

Cora Breakfast and Lunch, Canada’s breakfast leader, is proud to announce the opening of two new Cora restaurants in Western Canada. Alberta welcomed a new Cora sun located downtown Edmonton while British Columbia celebrated the arrival of the restaurant in Surrey.

Pioneering founder Cora Tsouflidou was on location for both Grand Openings, joined by local owner-franchisees to welcome dignitaries, lifestyle influencers and guests for a true celebration: the traditional Egg-Cracking Ceremony, during which the first symbolic omelette in the restaurant is made.

The new locations are part of a nationwide expansion of the Cora network, making it the 9th restaurant in British Columbia for the largest sit-down breakfast chain in Canada, and the 18th restaurant in Alberta.

Madame Cora originated the concept in 1987 when, as a single mother of three in need of a career, she bought a small abandoned diner on Côte-Vertu Boulevard in Montreal’s St-Laurent area, focusing solely on breakfast (egg dishes, fresh fruit, cheese, cereal, omelettes, crêpes and French toast). The restaurant quickly became the talk of the town, often with lineups at the door. Madame Cora’s astute entrepreneurial instincts told her that this was a concept that could be franchised.

With 130 operating restaurants, Cora Breakfast and Lunch continues to offer morning gastronomy dedicated to breakfast: quality food and service in a warm family atmosphere.

 

Two more Cora suns in the West!
Cora Franchise Group, Canada’s breakfast leader, is proud to announce the addition of two new restaurants in Western Canada. The Sun has now risen in Medicine Hat, Alberta, and Brandon, Manitoba. The Medicine Hat restaurant was inaugurated this past July and is the twentieth restaurant to open its doors in the province of Alberta. The Brandon restaurant, for its part, opened in November and is the fourth franchise for the prairie province. The two new franchises are part of the Quebec company’s national expansion plan. With more than 125 franchises, Cora restaurants continue to offer a diverse and unique breakfast and lunch menu, and quality service, all in a warm, family atmosphere.

Two more Cora suns are rising every day!
The year 2019 has been one of expansion for the Cora Franchise Group, Canada’s breakfast leader. The company’s iconic sun proudly shines in the country’s largest cities! Two other restaurants opened their doors in March. As for many Cora franchisees, it’s a family adventure for several of Cora’s newest members. The new location in the St. Vital neighbourhood of Winnipeg is managed by real-life partners who decided to open their own franchise, charmed by the Cora restaurant experience, the colourful menus and spectacular plates garnished with fresh fruit. The most recent opening is located in Regina, the second location for the city. Having successfully established his first Cora restaurant in 2018, the franchisee expanded his operations to include a second location, which began welcoming guests on March 18. The two new franchises are part of the Quebec company’s national expansion plan. With 130 restaurants currently in operation, Cora serves morning gastronomy dedicated to breakfast, as it pursues its mission of offering quality food and service in a warm, family atmosphere.

Our commitment to the planet
In order to reduce plastic waste, we will remove all plastic straws from our restaurants during the year 2019. Canada’s leader in breakfast and lunch is proud to commit to this ecological transition for the wellbeing of our planet. Over the last few years, we have decided to switch to biodegradable containers for our take-out meals. The complete removal of straws is not an option we considered due to our family theme, experienced in some 130 restaurants from coast to coast. As a first measure, we have already started to limit offering straws with beverages. We are still looking for a sustainable alternative for beverages, including biodegradable or paper straws.

Working at a Cora restaurant is a family business!
Diane Thériault has been a devoted waitress at our restaurant in Beauport, Quebec, for the past 20 years. For over 45 years, she has lived her passion for customer service at different bar and restaurant establishments. Diane still wakes up around 3:30 a.m. on weekdays to open the restaurant. She greets early birds with the warmest of smiles, and as head waitress, she likes sharing stories with customers and mentoring new staff. For Diane, waiting tables isn’t just a service, it’s all about relationships with people. Diane is proud to have passed along her passion for the job to her daughter, with whom she worked for several years; to her grandson Thomas, working at the Cora restaurant in Charlesbourg, Quebec; and to her granddaughter Améliane, who’s currently working alongside her at the Beauport location. Cora restaurants is indeed a family business!
