The Power of Franchising in Canada’s Entrepreneurial Landscape 🇨🇦

In our exclusive feature with Ryan Picklyk, Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships & Franchising at A&W Food Services of Canada and Chair of the Canadian Franchise Association, we explore how franchising empowers small-business ownership and fuels local innovation.

Ryan shares how the franchise model allows entrepreneurs to be in business for themselves, but not by themselves—offering independence, structure, and the support needed to succeed. From job creation to community engagement, franchisees across 60+ industries are shaping Canada’s economic-growth story.

💡 Key insight:
Franchising blends autonomy with collaboration, allowing local business owners to innovate, lead, and strengthen their communities—one neighbourhood at a time.
