Why Dic Ann's

A franchise
Quebec has known
since 1954.

Joining the Dic Ann's family means associating with a brand that Quebecers have known and loved for more than three generations.

Established brand since 1954

Customers don't need to learn who you are. Dic Ann's is an institution. Up to five generations of customers know the name.

Full support at opening

Operational training, location search assistance, and ongoing support so you're never on your own.

Proven operational system

Recipes, procedures, supply chain. Everything is documented and optimized after more than 70 years of operation. 100% pure AAA beef, pattied and delivered fresh almost every day from a federally inspected facility.

Ongoing growth in Quebec

A new location in Mirabel in 2025 and a food truck in St-Roch-de-l'Achigan in 2026. Markets still available. The timing is right.

A unique product in the market

Dic Ann's has been making thin patty burgers since 1954, long before the trend. Our famous secret sauce is part of the recipe that keeps people coming back.

Loyal, multigenerational clientele

Families who have been coming back for more than three generations. Customer loyalty is exceptional.

Our history

A love story
with Quebec
since 1954.

Dominic "Dic" Potenza and Ann Collecchia opened their first food cart at the corner of Cremazie and Papineau in 1954. What was meant to be a simple cart became a Quebec institution, one of the most loved in the province.

Their original burger has never changed. That's exactly what today's franchisees pass on to their customers.
