Major franchises
Greco Pizza and Captain Submarine
Both Greco Pizza and Captain Submarine are quick-service restaurant chains. Many of the over-170 Greco Pizza locations in Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland operate co-branded with Captain Submarine.
Established in Moncton, New Brunswick in 1977, Greco Pizza is one of Atlantic Canada's largest pizza chains. Menu items include pizza, donair, salads, garlic fingers, and the restaurant's proprietary dipping sauces.
Captain Submarine was acquired by Grinner's in 2002, when it only had 9 locations (21 fewer than it had in the 1980s). The purchase brought the number of Grinners franchised restaurants from 111 to 120.[3]
Frank and Gino's
Frank and Gino's is a restaurant in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada that is owned by Grinner's. Its menu includes pizza, pasta, seafood and beef entrees.
