June 11, 2025 – A Day to Celebrate the Entrepreneurial Spirit of Franchising

Each year on June 11, World Franchise Day highlights the significant contribution of the franchise model to both local and global economic development. It’s an opportunity to recognize the hard work and determination of franchisees—independent entrepreneurs who build strong businesses while relying on proven networks.

This unique business model combines independence with support. Franchisees benefit from strategic guidance, ongoing training, and operational tools that allow them to focus on growing their business, all while enjoying the backing of a recognized brand. The result: resilient, innovative businesses deeply rooted in their communities.

In Canada, franchising plays a major role in the economy. In 2025, the industry is expected to generate over $133 billion in economic activity and contribute to the creation of nearly 2 million jobs nationwide, making it the country’s 12th largest economic sector.

On June 11, let’s honour this collective entrepreneurial force and celebrate the successes that shape our neighborhoods, our cities, and our future.
