# List of franchise networks in the province of Quebec
Tamtam tracks 29 franchise networks headquartered in the province of Quebec. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Circle K, Metro Inc. and Jean Coutu. Their median headcount is 645. Half of them were founded in 1985 or later. The most common headquarters are Montreal (11), Boucherville (2) and Laval (2).
This selection of large franchise networks in Quebec includes a significant number of retail companies, alongside a few in healthcare, automotive services, and real estate. Notable examples include Circle K, a global convenience and fuel retailer; Metro Inc., a food and pharmacy retailer; Jean Coutu, a Canadian pharmacy retail network; and La Vie En Rose, specializing in lingerie and swimwear. McKesson Canada, a healthcare product and service provider, and Fix Network World, an automotive aftermarket service leader, also feature.
A recurring pattern among these companies is their establishment between the 1940s and 1990s, with a concentration of headquarters in Montreal and Laval. The dominance of retail, particularly in food, pharmacy, and general merchandise, is a clear characteristic of this group.

## 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 13, 2026.
