Be a part of the most exciting and fastest growing Irish Pub Group in North America – PRIME PUBS

Prime Pubs is a family of 16 authentic Irish pubs operating under the trade-marks of Fionn MacCool’s, D’Arcy McGee’s and Paddy Flaherty’s, and two Belgian-inspired brassieres operating under the trade-mark Bier Markt.

Prime Pubs is ideally positioned to capitalize on a significant gap in the existing casual dining landscape. Prime Pubs has successfully contemporized the pub idea among consumers, effectively trading these individuals up from downscale pubs and bars while simultaneously providing a highly differentiated experience from existing casual dining brands. The elevated or “premium” food and beverage program combined with a more sophisticated environment with a greater focus on service attributes has served to broaden the appeal of a Prime Pub beyond the male LDA-34 male skew of the typical pub to include both the 25-49 male and female consumer.

Prime Pubs provides its Guests with a unique combination of traditional Irish fare made from authentic recipes that have been developed over generations, complimented by items that speak to more contemporary flavours and trends. Prime Pubs’ culinary program features significant in-house preparation of menu items that extend beyond typical Pub fare, including a seasonal Plat du Jour program designed to highlight the brand’s culinary expertise. The Prime Pub culinary experience is complimented with a beverage offering that features exclusive pours or niche product both on draught and in package and is augmented by the brand’s extensive beverage menu that features the latest wines and trend inspired cocktails.

The Prime Pubs experience has been brought to life through radio and print advertising that has been recognized with three Frankie Awards in the past two years (Silver & Gold medalists winner.) The Frankie Awards are presented annually by the Canadian Franchise Association to recognize outstanding marketing campaigns in the Canadian franchise industry.

The overall objective of the Prime Pubs franchise program is to provide you with a sound, successful restaurant concept that, combined with your hands-on operation, control and hard work, will produce personal satisfaction and financial rewards.

The Prime Pubs franchise program has been designed to provide a comprehensive set of services to all franchisees including, but not limited to:
  • Operations, Finance, Training and Culinary Intranet Support;
  • Local Store Marketing and Promotions;
  • Franchisee Micro-Websites;
  • Management Training;
  • Marketing / Advertising;
  • On-Site Pub Opening Support;
  • Quality Control Checks;
  • Design & Development
  • Operations Services
  • Management Training
  • Purchasing & Distribution
  • Real Estate / Site Selection
  • Menu Development, Recipes and Ongoing R&D
As a result of Prime Restaurants’ positive interaction with franchisees, our restaurant owners/operators are much more likely to be financially successful than were they to enter the industry independently or join a small chain lacking an established support infrastructure.
