These, however are all franchised with the exception of one other corporate location, in Toronto, with the Oakville location being the sec ond. The corporate stores are a publicly owned company traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. "We're very proud to be expanding our next corporate location into Oakville," says regional manager Bill McCullagh. "And we expect to expand even further to four new areas such as Burlington."
