In the 80’s when
most Canadian food court locations were serving up the usual
burgers, fries and pizza, Lou Donato had something more exotic
in mind. Having established an Italian food franchise in 1981,
he knew that food court patrons were ready for something radically
new. And he looked East for inspiration.
In April 1986 Teriyaki Experience opened in
Promenade Mall in Toronto with a sizzling show at the grill
that included each meal prepared fast and fresh for each customer.
Customer response was immediate. Clearly, Canadians were ready
for a delicious and nutritious new taste experience.
Almost 20 years later, we serve nearly 4 million meals annually
at over 100 locations worldwide in shopping mall food courts,
street fronts, universities, hospitals, and theme parks. And
Asian-inspired food… well, it’s the hottest new
menu trend! |
