Company Overviews
About Great Canadian Bagel
In April, 1993 "The Great Canadian Bagel, Ltd." began operations
with an initial store in Metropolitan Toronto. Featuring 24 varieties of
fresh baked bagels, 21 flavours of cream cheese spreads and a selection
of soups, salads, and made-to-order sandwiches, the store was an
immediate success.
At The Great Canadian Bagel all bagels are baked
fresh from recipes calling for only the finest natural ingredients with
no preservatives. The majority of stores are equipped with an on-premise
bakery enabling customers to watch the bagels being made and smell the
aroma as they are taken from the oven. This combination of high quality
product, attractive store atmosphere and their constant focus on
providing the highest level of customer service all work together to set
The Great Canadian Bagel a notch above the competition in the fast
growing Bagel segment of the Foodservice market.
About Yummy Cupcakes
The "complete cupcake business solution."
Yummy Cupcakes was founded by Executive Chef Tiffini Soforenko with the idea that cupcakes could be enjoyed more often than just special occasions, could be created in gourmet-style, and could be offered in a wide variety of flavors. In March 2004, Tiffini joined forces with husband Nik and mother Brogan, left the corporate world and together created Yummy Cupcakes.
Back then, no one had ever heard of a "cupcake only" bakery, let alone ever visited one. Tiffini, Nik and Brogan introduced Yummy Cupcakes to the world based on a simple premise: be passionate about creating exceptional product, be passionate about guest services, and be passionate about doing things right.
Now, with several years experience operating Yummy Cupcakes, we have developed a solid and successful business model for both Yummy Cupcakes bakeshop owners and Yummy Cupcakes customers. This, combined with our corporate experience in business operations, guest service, franchise operations and marketing, has led us to seek qualified people to join us in growing Yummy Cupcakes worldwide!
If you have the enthusiasm, drive and commitment to growing your own empire, we want to talk with you. We are confident that owning a Yummy Cupcakes franchise is a tremendous opportunity.
As a Yummy Cupcakes Owner/Operator, you'll have the benefit of walking into a ready-made system. We have spent the past few years trying, testing, and refining our business so that it's a business model that works. With your own business experience, drive and energy and our working business model, we have a winning combination!
