TORONTO, ON, March 2, 2021 <\/strong>\u2013 Ontarians are about to get a taste of Triple O\u2019s, the West Coast restaurant specializing in burgers, fries and shakes. Today the company announced its plans to launch six restaurants in the GTA in 2021\/2022. The first location opened today (March 2) in Mississauga, Courtneypark, and will be followed by a restaurant on Zenway Blvd in Vaughan this April. Triple O\u2019s plans to open 30 locations in the province over the next five\u00a0years<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Triple O\u2019s drive-thru restaurants will be conveniently located at Pioneer and Ultramar gas stations through the company\u2019s existing, long-standing relationship with Parkland Fuel Corporation, as well as at free-standing Triple O\u2019s locations. The first Ontario restaurant is located at 1520 Courtneypark Drive East, Mississauga ON, L5T 2C7.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Triple O’s entry into Ontario reflects a bold vision to bring their great tasting 100% fresh Canadian beef burgers, served with its iconic pickle on top, to more Canadians. Other classics include their hand-scooped milkshakes, fresh-cut fries and its delicious Secret Triple “O” Sauce. With a loyal guest base that has been steadily growing since 1997, Triple O’s now has 71 burger restaurants \u2013 both here in\u00a0Canada, and abroad in\u00a0Asia.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I can\u2019t tell you how many times guests, potential franchisees and even famous expats living in Ontario ask us when we plan to open a restaurant in\u00a0the province,” said Triple O’s and White Spot President\u00a0Warren Erhart. “Well, that day has come in a major way. This is a competitive burger market, but we stand by our unparalleled taste that has converted legions of burger lovers alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Canadian story: A history of firsts\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Triple O\u2019s is a spin-off of White Spot Restaurants,\u00a0Canada’s\u00a0longest-running restaurant chain and the country\u2019s first chain of burger restaurants. Founder Nat Bailey started White Spot in 1928 as a traveling lunch counter in the back of his Model T Ford. He then opened\u00a0Canada’s first drive-in\u00a0at Granville & 67th\u00a0\u00a0 <\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0in Vancouver in 1928. White Spot was at the dawn of a change in Vancouver brought on by the automobile. It was the \u201cRoaring Twenties”\u00a0and the car was transforming\u00a0society, making it easier and quicker to get to a destination. Nat pioneered the\u00a0‘car hop’\u00a0\u2013 waiters who would ‘hop’ to it and deliver food to guests in their vehicles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What\u2019s in a name? (Or two names to be exact)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nat was so committed to having the\u00a0cleanest spot in town\u00a0that he named his restaurant ‘White Spot’, where ‘White’ represented spotlessly clean and the restaurants became known as the go to spot for everyone. Due to the popularity of its burgers, shakes and fries, White Spot opened its first Triple O\u2019s location in 1997 on Robson Street, Vancouver. According to legend, the name for Nat’s secret\u00a0Triple ‘O’\u00a0Sauce came from shorthand used by the carhops filling out order slips. Guests could choose from several toppings. An X meant hold, an O meant extra, and Triple ‘O’ meant plenty of sauce!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Persevering through a pandemic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Triple O\u2019s was set to open in Ontario in the summer of 2020 but pushed its plans back by six months due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cNobody\u2019s business plan included a pandemic, and we had to adjust our timing and market entry,\u201d said Erhart. \u201cHowever, what we\u2019ve learned in the ensuing time is invaluable. People want taste and quality but also\u00a0safety\u00a0and convenience. They are more comfortable going to a drive thru or using food delivery services for safety. That\u2019s what we are offering \u2013 a better burger experience, but with quick-service speed, enabled by technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After the first two restaurant openings in Mississauga and Vaughan this winter, subsequent restaurants will be in Toronto, as well as a second restaurant in Vaughan, and a Hamilton location. The company will also be operating its On The Go Truck<\/a>, a 30-foot mobile restaurant\u00a0serving its famous offerings. Triple O’s quick-serve restaurants will offer drive-thru, curbside pickup using the Triple O\u2019s mobile app<\/a>, dine-in service (once restrictions end), and delivery through SkipTheDishes and DoorDash.<\/p>\n
