Buy a Copper Branch Franchise

Copper Branch is a 100% plant-based, fast-casual restaurant franchise founded in Montreal in 2014, with franchise operations beginning the following year. The brand’s all-day menu centers on chef-inspired vegan cuisine: power bowls, salads, burgers, sandwiches, smoothies, and breakfast items, all developed with gluten-free, organic, and non-GMO ingredients. The concept targets health-conscious consumers seeking convenient, nutritious food in a quick-service setting.

Copper Branch is part of the Foodtastic portfolio, one of Canada’s largest multi-brand restaurant franchise companies with over 1,000 locations across 26 brands and more than $1 billion in system sales. Franchisees benefit from Foodtastic’s shared infrastructure, covering training, marketing support, and centralized purchasing across the group’s broader brand network.

Copper Branch restaurants are located in shopping and entertainment centers, power centers, and street-front or urban settings, typically sized between 1,500 and 2,500 square feet. The brand operates across Canada and select international markets and targets North American trade areas with minimum populations of 75,000.

Why buy a Copper Branch Franchise?

To buy a Copper Branch franchise is to enter one of the few fast-casual segments with limited overlap from traditional QSR operators: an exclusively plant-based, all-day menu covering bowls, salads, burgers, smoothies, and breakfast. That positioning places Copper Branch beyond the typical lunch-only health-food niche and supports multiple revenue windows across a single operating day.

As part of Foodtastic’s multi-brand platform, franchisees access centralized purchasing, established supplier relationships, shared marketing systems, and ongoing operational support: resources an independent plant-based restaurant operator would have to build from scratch. The group’s active North American expansion reflects ongoing system investment, which resale buyers can weigh alongside the specific unit’s performance history.

Copper Branch – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Copper Branch provides a comprehensive training program included in the franchise fee, covering restaurant operations, menu preparation, and staff management; no prior restaurant experience is required. Foodtastic's infrastructure delivers ongoing support through marketing assistance, digital campaigns, and centralized supplier relationships shared across its multi-brand portfolio. Buyers of an existing Copper Branch unit should confirm with Foodtastic what transfer training and ongoing system access are provided when ownership changes.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Copper Branch suits operators with experience managing staff in a service or hospitality environment and an affinity for the brand's health and sustainability values. The kitchen system requires no prior restaurant or chef experience; operators from outside foodservice who bring strong team-management, customer-service, and local marketing skills are well positioned for the model. The multi-channel revenue model (dine-in, takeout, delivery, and catering) calls for comfort with scheduling and inventory management. The model also suits multi-unit operators; the franchisor actively targets area development across North America.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Copper Branch built early recognition in Canada as one of the first fast-casual restaurant brands to offer an exclusively plant-based menu across breakfast, lunch, and dinner, gaining visibility with health-conscious consumers and commercial landlords before the broader plant-based category attracted significant investment. As part of the Foodtastic portfolio, the brand benefits from the group's established presence in the Canadian restaurant industry. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific unit's local reputation, customer reviews, and community standing in its trade area.

  4. Industry / Market

    The North American fast-casual plant-based food segment has grown steadily, driven by rising consumer interest in plant-based diets across health, environmental, and dietary sensitivity motivations. The US plant-based food and beverages market was estimated at nearly $4 billion in 2024, projected to grow at approximately 9% annually through 2035 (Market Research Future). The addressable market extends beyond committed vegans: a significant share of mainstream consumers incorporates plant-based meals regularly. For resale buyers, local dining traffic, trade-area density, and nearby competition are the most direct factors to evaluate.
