DENVER, Colo. — Spicy Pickle Franchising Inc. has acquired Bread Garden Franchising Inc., the franchisor of the Bread Garden Urban Cafes, a chain of franchised fast casual restaurants located in the greater Vancouver, Canada area. Currently, there are 11 operating restaurants.
Spicy Pickle purchased substantially all of the assets of Bread Garden, including all of its rights to operate as the franchisor of the Bread Garden Urban Cafes. Spicy Pickle will take over the existing Bread Garden franchising office located in downtown Vancouver.
There are no plans to convert the Bread Garden Urban Cafes to Spicy Pickle restaurants, company officials said.
Originally started 30 years ago, the cafes were eventually sold to a multi-unit corporation and in 2004 to a family that resides in the Vancouver area. The cafes serve coffee, pastries and breakfast items as well as lunch and dinner along with a wide variety of desserts.
