Pizza Delight is a Canadian pizza restaurant franchise. It was founded in 1968 in Shediac, New Brunswick by Léandre Bourque[1] and Allard Robichaud[2] and then later purchased by Bernard Imbeault and two of his friends. The chain's head offices are now located in Moncton. The restaurant primarily serves pizza, pasta and salad dishes. Today, it has over 70 restaurants, and operates in Ontario and the Atlantic provinces, with almost half of its locations in New Brunswick.
Imvescor
In 2000, Pizza Delight purchased Mikes,[3] a prominent chain in Quebec and Ontario, for $15 million. Further acquisitions followed; the company acquired Scores in 2005, and Bâton Rouge in 2006.[4] In 2006, it changed its name to Imvescor, to reflect its larger stable of restaurants.[4] At its peak, the company owned and operated over 350 restaurants across Canada under four different banners. These included:
- 95 Pizza Delights
- 94 Mikes Restaurants
- 28 Bâton Rouge Restaurants
- 40 Scores Restaurants
In December 2017, MTY Food Group acquired Imvescor (including Pizza Delight) for $248 million.[5]
