The MTY Group started in 1979 with a single restaurant when Stanley Ma, the companyโs founder, opened his first restaurant serving Chinese and Polynesian cuisine โLe Paradis du Pacifiqueโ in Montreal. Ten years later, the MTY Group had grown into a leader in Asian food service in Quebec and was targeting a new niche, which led to the birth of Franx Supreme.
Since then, the MTY Group has acquired several other restaurant brands including Baton Rouge, Extreme Pita, Built Custom Burgers, KimChi, Mikes, and Mr. Sub, and has restaurants in over 5,500 locations. A full list of restaurant brands that are part of the MTY Group can be viewed here.
