Most people who look into franchising start the same way: a dozen open tabs, a few brochures, and a short list of brands that never seems to get shorter. A live franchise webinar is a quicker way to narrow it down, because you hear directly from the team that runs franchise development and you can ask your questions on the spot.

MTY Group is hosting Discover Your Franchise Fit, an exclusive webinar on its multi-brand franchise model, on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at 6:00 PM MST. The event runs online, so you can join from anywhere in Western Canada, and it is the latest in MTY’s webinar series for people exploring franchise ownership.

In one evening, franchise experts from MTY will break down the essentials, from financial insights to location opportunities. You will meet six restaurant franchise brands and get an overview of franchise financing in Canada from a special guest at Scotiabank. Here is what to expect and how to save your spot.

Franchise Webinar Details: Date, Time and How to Join

Registration is through Eventbrite and takes a minute. Sign up early so the session details land in your inbox before the 28th.

Why Attend a Franchise Webinar Before You Commit

A franchise webinar gives you access to the franchisor’s team without booking a formal meeting. You can participate from home, hear the questions other attendees ask, and come away with knowledge you can use when you compare brands.

It also saves time. Instead of six separate calls, you hear about six brands in one session, then follow up with the ones that fit your goals. If you are weighing growth opportunities in a market like Calgary or Vancouver, it is an easy moment to ask which brands are planning expansion in your area.

Six Restaurant Franchise Brands in One Webinar

The webinar features six brands from MTY Group, a franchisor with more than 80 brands across fast casual, quick service, and casual dining. Each one has its own menu, format, and customer, so seeing them side by side makes it easier to compare restaurant franchise options in Canada.

• TacoTime: quick service Mexican with more than 125 locations in Canada and over 45 years as a Canadian brand, with a long history in Western Canada. Formats include mall food courts, drive-thrus, and freestanding restaurants.
• Mr. Sub: Canada’s largest Canadian-owned sub franchise, in business for more than 55 years, with over 200 locations across the country.
• Thaï Express: quick casual Thai food from a Canadian brand that has been growing since 2004, in mall and street formats.
• Jugo Juice: smoothies, bowls, and snacks. The brand was founded in Calgary in 1998 and now has more than 100 locations across Canada.
• Café Dépôt: a Canadian coffee brand with three decades of experience and more than 60 locations, offered in street, inline, and kiosk formats.
• Manchu WOK: wok-cooked Chinese food, with more than 80 locations in five countries, including over 60 in Canada.

That is Mexican, subs, Thai, smoothies, coffee, and Chinese food in one session, in footprints that go from a small kiosk to a drive-thru. If you are weighing a food franchise in Canada and have not settled on a category, this is a practical way to hear how each one runs.

What You Will Learn at the Franchise Webinar

The agenda covers three areas:

• Franchise selection: how to find the brand that fits your goals.
• Financial planning: insights into funding and investment options.
• Support and growth: how MTY supports franchisees at each step of the way.

One of the benefits of joining a franchisor of this size is the network behind you. MTY has dedicated teams for franchise development, construction, finance, marketing, real estate, and training and operations, so you are not working through each step alone.

Bring your questions.

Franchise Financing in Canada: An Overview from Scotiabank

For most future owners, funding is the first serious question. A special guest from Scotiabank will present an overview of the Canada Small Business Financing Loan (CSBFL) Program and explain how it can help you understand how to finance your franchise investment.

The program is run by the Government of Canada and makes it easier for small businesses to get loans from financial institutions by sharing the risk with lenders. Hearing how it works from a banker, with the franchise team in the same session, gives you a clearer idea of what to prepare before you meet a lender.

Meet Your Hosts from MTY Franchise Development

Taylor Lileikis, Director, Franchise Development, and Jasmit Narula, Franchise Sales Coordinator, will lead the webinar. Both are part of the MTY franchise development team, the people prospective franchisees speak with when they start exploring a brand.

They will cover how the franchise process works at MTY, what the support looks like before and after opening, and how to decide which of the six brands suits your market, your budget, and your plans for franchise growth.

Who Should Join This Franchise Webinar

This session is a good fit if you:

• Are researching how to buy a franchise in Canada and want a guided starting point
• Are looking at franchise opportunities in Alberta, BC, or elsewhere in Western Canada
• Already own a business and want to expand into a second concept
• Want to understand financing before you talk to a bank

You do not need a brand picked out. The point of a multi-brand session is to compare before you commit.
