Wayback Burgers has inked a master franchise partnership with Alberta, Canada-based Wance and Malik Corp. to bring the brand to Canada.

As part of the partnership, Wance and Malik Corp will open a minimum of 10 Wayback Burgers restaurants in Alberta, with the first location slated to open during summer 2016, according to a company press release.

Beginning as a single burger restaurant in 1991, in Newark, Delaware, Wayback Burgers has experienced rapid growth due to strong and growing demand for the brand domestically and around the world. It now has more than 135 locations slated to be open by the end of 2016, with another 350 stores in development worldwide.

"Wayback Burgers has solidified itself as a formidable player in the better burger category in the U.S. and abroad, with steady debt-free growth, locations in 26 states, new locations opening at a rate of two to three restaurants per month and our strong 33 country international development schedule," said John Carter, founder and CEO of Wayback Burgers.

Malik Tanveer-Ur-Rahman, of Wance and Malik Corporation, said he is thrilled to be the first to bring Wayback's burgers and hand-dipped milkshakes to Canada.

"We wanted to find a partner with solid growth potential and great food, and apply our backgrounds in restaurants and technology, and we found exactly what we were searching for when we met with the Wayback Burgers team," he said. "We look forward to introducing Wayback Burgers to Alberta."
