We live in a fast-paced world where many rely on grab-and-go meals as a staple in their weekly routine to save ourselves some valuable time. However, many convenient options are not the healthiest or lack variety. Standing out from the crowd and offering fresh and diverse menu options, Edo Japan (Edo) has arrived in Thunder Bay as the newest option to fit your busy lifestyle. Edo is already delighting Thunder Bay residents who are indulging in tasty Japanese-inspired deliciousness that’s easy and fresh. The newly opened street-front restaurant is conveniently located in the Brentwood Village Mall.
Established in Western Canada in 1979, Edo brings the freshness of Japan’s hot teppanyaki-style cooking to street front shopping centres and food courts across the nation. It is known for its Japanese-inspired, handmade meals, prepared fresh on a 450 F teppan grill and finished with its signature teriyaki sauce. Searing the fresh ingredients and locking in the one-of-a kind-flavour, it’s a dining experience you don’t want to miss out on. With more than 150 locations across Canada, you can trust the millions of Canadians who already love Edo.
Edo’s more than 40-year history makes it a true Canadian success story. The loyal following it has earned in the West has led to it expanding in the East and becoming more established in the Ontario market. Their claim to fame - a coveted, signature teriyaki sauce – is a time-honoured recipe that adds zest to already delicious menu items, satisfying the increasing demand for a consistent variety of fresh options and flavourful food.
“Our approach of adapting to consumer needs helps us introduce the brand into new markets like Thunder Bay. This has also aided in the success of potential franchisees approaching Edo to be a part of the well-loved brand and demonstrates an eagerness to join a supportive and successful franchise. We knew Thunder Bay would be a great fit for Edo and Edo a great fit for Thunder Bay,” says Terry Foster, Vice President of Operations and Franchising, Edo Japan.
“Currently, Edo has franchisees signed up for 60 future sites in Canada, so the demand is very strong. We are looking forward to seeing Edo’s growth in Thunder Bay like we have in other Ontario markets. We’re excited bring some new flavour to this city and to open our doors to the community, because we’re confident they’ll love Edo as much as we do,” Foster adds.
