December 20/Toronto, Ont./Globe and Mail -- Andrew Skehan, international chief operating officer for Atlanta-based Popeyes, said his chain now has 63 locations in Ontario, most of them clustered in the greater Toronto Area. New outlets, including one in downtown Toronto’s east end that opened recently, keep cropping up.
“Canada is certainly one of our growth markets. Our business is very healthy up there,” Skehan said in an interview. “Compared with the U.S., (Canada’s) economy has weathered the recession much better.”
