Bring The Fritter Shop to Your Community
Canada’s Sweetest Franchise Opportunity Starts Here
Baked-In Success Since 1989
What started as a family-run bakery in London, Ontario has grown into one of the most beloved dessert brands in the province. The Fritter Shop specializes in Dutch-style fritters made fresh with rotating flavours, local ingredients, and a commitment to quality that customers can taste.
With decades of brand loyalty, simple operations, and flexible formats, The Fritter Shop is now looking for passionate operators to help expand the brand across Canada.
Simple to Run. Impossible to Ignore.
The Fritter Shop combines a unique product with a flexible business model, making it ideal for both new entrepreneurs and experienced operators.
Rotating Flavours, Authentic Recipes
Our fritters are rooted in traditional Dutch recipes—but we’ve modernized them with a rotating menu of seasonal and custom flavours that Canadians genuinely crave. From apple cinnamon to chocolate hazelnut, our lineup keeps customers coming back to try what’s new (and re-order their favourites).
Flexible Format Options
Whether you’re launching a full retail location, setting up a mobile pop-up, running a dessert truck, or placing product through grocery and wholesale channels, The Fritter Shop is built to adapt. We’ll work with you to find the format that suits your goals, budget, and local market.
Low Complexity
You don’t need a culinary background to run The Fritter Shop. With a streamlined operations model, limited equipment requirements, and a simplified menu, our franchise is designed for ease of use—making it ideal for first-time business owners and seasoned operators alike.
Established Brand Loyalty
With over 30 years of presence in Ontario, The Fritter Shop has built a strong and growing fanbase. Customers recognize the brand, trust the quality, and return regularly—whether it’s for a weekend treat, a seasonal flavour drop, or a grocery store pickup.
