About The Firkin Group of Pubs:
Stanley Adelson and Ian Fisher opened their first pub, Fox and Firkin, in Toronto in May 1987. It was the idea of a traditional English neighborhood pub – where people could enjoy good drink and food in good company – that quickly built a stable of regulars. Selections range from a variety of beverages and delicious meals including: traditional English pub fare like fish and chips, burgers, sandwiches, as well as a selection of entrée dishes such as Bangers and Mash, Shepherd's pie, salads and—of course—a wide assortment of draft beers on tap and in the bottle.
Prime franchise territory is still available across the nation. If you are interested in franchising with The Firkin Group of Pubs please visit www.firkinpubs.com or contact Katie Magers at 214-520-7152 or katiem@fransmart.com
