Our Vision
For over two decades since opening in 2001, Osmow’s Shawarma has been synonymous with quality, growth, and community engagement. Our franchisees benefit from a proven business model that evolves with the needs of both customers and operators. Whether you’re new to franchising or an experienced entrepreneur, we provide the tools, training, and resources you need to succeed in the competitive QSR market
With over 225 restaurants currently, our sights are set on further expansion across North America. We’ve established ourselves as a cornerstone of the Mediterranean QSR industry, offering entrepreneurs the chance to join the fastest-growing shawarma restaurant chain in Canada.
A Proudly Canadian Brand with Mediterranean Roots
Our brand’s foundation is built on the rich tradition of Mediterranean dishes from Egypt, brought to life in Canada. Our commitment to growth, supported by the efficiency of our Osmow’s Shawarma Plant for controlling product costs, gives franchisees a distinct advantage in a crowded marketplace.
Comprehensive Training and Support
Our extensive training program ensures franchisees are fully prepared for opening. Franchisees will designate two individuals to complete up to 3 weeks of in-person training at our corporate head office and restaurant. Training includes in-class as well as practical learning at high volume restaurant. Opening day is further supported by the Restaurant Opening/Training Team, along with your designated District Manager from our Operations team.
Impactful Marketing Strategy
Our marketing approach is a key differentiator. Our National Advertising Strategy leverages brand ambassadors, social media influencers, and professional sports teams to reach our core demographic and increase overall brand awareness. Franchisees benefit from the support of our Marketing Department and are encouraged to continue Grassroots Marketing efforts to build awareness in their local community.
Innovation and Technology
Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. Our franchisees benefit from cutting-edge tools. Also, in 2025 we launched the Osmow’s Shawarma app making it easier for customers to access their favourite meals for delivery or pick up, alert customers of unique promotions, and benefit from gaining points that can be used to unlock free items.
Focus on the Right Site
We maintain strict guidelines to ensure we pair qualified franchisees with top-tier locations. We utilize industry knowledge and leverage our relationships with landlords, developers, and brokers to secure opportunities. We negotiate key lease terms and select sites at the corporate level, though we are open to franchisees bringing an opportunity to us for review.
Community Engagement
Community engagement is at the core of our values. We look for franchisees who share our passion for delivering healthy and delicious meals, offering exceptional customer service, and being a positive influence in the community around them.
