Major franchises
[edit]Greco Pizza and Captain Submarine
[edit]Greco Pizza was established in Moncton, New Brunswick in 1977, and has since grown to one of Atlantic Canada's largest pizza chains. Menu items include pizza, donair, salad, and the restaurant's proprietary dipping sauces.[citation needed]
Captain Submarine was acquired by Grinner's in 2002, with nine locations (twenty-one fewer than there were in the 1980s). The purchase raised the number of Grinner's franchised restaurants from 111 to 120.[3]
Both Greco Pizza and Captain Submarine are quick-service restaurant chains, which are often co-branded. There are over 170 Greco Pizza locations across Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland.[citation needed]
