Growing your network, one franchise at a time.

Blitz Franchise is a franchise network development firm operating in Canada and Ireland. Our team is dedicated to helping established franchisors multiply their network and to supporting entrepreneurs who want to franchise their concept.

Since 2024, Blitz Franchise has been committed to making franchising accessible to all, presenting it as a smart choice for growing an established network or simply taking the leap into entrepreneurship.

Our story

  1. 2024

    It was during his time as a sales representative at Pizza Salvatoré that Jeremy Bessette came up with the idea for Blitz Franchise. Why not replicate Pizza Salvatoré’s franchise sales model for other businesses, here and elsewhere? That simple intuition gave rise to a formidable expansion strategy, able to accelerate any concept’s presence in the market.

    Blitz Franchise is a franchise development firm offering end-to-end support, from structuring franchise concepts to recruiting franchisees and selling franchises. With a specialized team and verified figures and results, the company ensures an effective and measurable rollout for every partner.

    Since 2024, Blitz Franchise has applied the same rigour and strategic vision to accelerate the growth of the Groupe Abbatiello banners and of many other partner businesses, across several industries.

  2. 2025

    Barely a year after its launch, Blitz Franchise was already opening a second office in Ontario to meet growing demand in the region. Now established as far as Western Canada with a third office, the company is driving truly Canada-wide growth.

  3. 2026

    From its headquarters in Québec and through its offices in Québec, Toronto, and Ireland, Blitz Franchise is increasingly establishing itself as a leading franchise development firm in Canada and abroad. With this growing presence, Blitz Franchise positions itself as a strategic partner, helping businesses grow and expand into new markets.
