Since its launch in 2021, Cheezed has built a loyal following, delighting guests with memorable, flavourful creations that keep them coming back.+1
From the very beginning, the founders envisioned growing the Cheezed Brand far beyond a single location, sharing its bold, chef-inspired comfort food with communities across Canada. Simultaneously, they designed and engineered a warm, chalet-inspired environment while respecting kitchen workflow—establishing a framework capable of supporting brand growth without compromise.+1
Why Cheezed Stands Out
- Creative, Chef-Inspired Menu: Bold grilled cheese sandwiches, made fresh to order, delivering a comfort food experience that keeps guests returning.
- Inviting Locations: Warm wood tones and bold graphics inspired by alpine chalets create a memorable, playful atmosphere.
- Operational Excellence: Efficient layouts and streamlined processes ensure consistent quality and smooth operations at every location.
- Turnkey Franchisor Support: From site selection and concept design to opening day and ongoing operations, Cheezed provides comprehensive guidance to set franchisees up for success.
- Partner-Focused Philosophy: Cheezed seeks motivated, like-minded franchisees who share the brand’s values and vision, fostering a network committed to excellence, growth, and consistent delivery.
Growth and Scalability
Cheezed has already demonstrated its scalability with successful locations in both resort destinations and urban markets, including its newest franchisee-operated location in Downtown Toronto. This growth illustrates the concept’s flexibility and nationwide potential. With a proven concept, strong brand identity, and a franchisor committed to helping partners succeed, Cheezed is carving out a distinct position in Canada’s fast-casual sector.+2

“Partnering with Cheezed has been one of the best decisions we have made as new franchisees.
