History
New York Fries started as a stand at South Street Seaport. In 1983, Jay and Hal Gould found the stand from a New York Times review and initially bought the Canadian rights, eventually buying out the entire company in 1987.[2]
The first Canadian location opened on August 16, 1984 at Scarborough Town Centre. It initially only sold fries and cola.[3] The brand later introduced poutine onto its menu in 1989.[4]
Cara Operations (now known as Recipe Unlimited) bought New York Fries in September 2015.[5]
South St. Burger Co.
Since the sale of New York Fries, South St. Burger Company is no longer run by New York Fries.[6] South St Burger Co. has thirty locations across Canada and two in Dubai. South St. Burger Co. sells hamburgers, fries and poutine.[7]
Locations
New York Fries has 156 locations, including 120 in Canada and 36 outside of North America, mostly in the Middle East and China.[5]
