Meet Our Franchise Owners

Franchise owners come from all walks, cultures and age groups

You don’t have to have experience cooking or preparing Asian food to run a successful Thai Express franchise. In fact, our owners come from all segments of the restaurant industry, from QSR super-chains to mom-and-pop Greek restaurants. They know the value of the Thai Express brand, embrace our core mission, and embody our four core values — customer experience, mutual respect, the Thai heart, and quality.

Here’s what they have to say about why they love owning a Thai Express franchise.

“We usually have a line during lunchtime, maybe a line of up to 30 or 40 people…They know we’re going to serve them fast. Customers come again and again, and that helps grow revenues and build the business.”

Jacky Chhan, mall food court owner, Montreal, Canada

“I think the opportunity in the U.S. is huge. I travel there a lot and and get to see the food offerings that are there…I’ve yet to find a place that offers something that’s fresh, that’s healthy, that’s quick, and that’s affordable. Thai Express hits each of those high notes, and it’s going to be huge with American audiences.”

Sam Salabi, multi-unit owner in Quebec, Canada
