# List of franchise networks in British Columbia

Tamtam tracks 38 franchise networks headquartered in British Columbia. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by A&W Food Services of Canada Inc., Northland Properties and Boston Pizza International Inc. Their median headcount is 462. Half of them were founded in 1989 or later. The most common headquarters are Vancouver (17), Langley (5) and Richmond (3).

These British Columbia-based franchise networks primarily operate in the restaurant, hospitality, and retail sectors. They range from established brands like A&W Food Services of Canada Inc., a Canadian-owned company with over 1,020 franchised restaurants, to Northland Properties, a fast-growing hospitality group. Other notable companies include Boston Pizza International Inc, a casual dining brand, and Expedia Cruises, a travel agency franchise.

A significant pattern is the prevalence of Vancouver as a headquarters city, hosting companies such as Moxies, a trendy restaurant chain, and 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, a junk removal service. The listed companies were founded between 1928 and 2003, indicating a mix of long-standing enterprises and more recently established firms.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
