/EINPresswire.com/ -- VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - January 30, 2017) - CaliBurger™ announced today that it has entered into an agreement with K Franchise Systems (CaliBurger's existing partner for British Columbia, Washington state and Oregon) to develop the rest of Canada. The first restaurant will likely open later this year.

Reyaz A. Kassamali, President and CEO of KFS, stated: "After our hugely successful opening in downtown Vancouver last year, we are very excited to extend our partnership with CaliBurger to cover the rest of Canada. We see a lot of potential for this cutting-edge burger concept in the Canadian market, in particular in major metropolitan markets. In fact, our first order of business will be to relocate the existing CaliBurger in Waterloo, Ontario to a more central location in Toronto, which we expect to open a little later this year." Kassamali further commented that they are currently in talks with potential franchisees in other major cities across Canada.
