The National Franchise Show 2027

It takes place at Metro Toronto Convention Centre (North Building) in Toronto.

The organizer identifies business ownership candidates, potential owners, and entrepreneurs as audience groups.

The organizer lists more than 200 franchise opportunities.

It is worth it for aspiring owners comparing franchise options in person, since the show lists over 200 franchises across industries and franchise-focused sponsors such as Garfinkle Biderman NHT and Business Exchange. Existing franchisees, or people who are not yet seriously considering buying a business, would get less from it, as the show is built for first conversations with franchisors rather than operating-level education.

Visitors to franchise and business-opportunity shows typically wear business casual, since they are meeting franchisors face to face. Toronto in mid-January is cold, so a warm coat and comfortable shoes for a large hall at Metro Toronto Convention Centre help.
