Michael Going, founder and CEO of Good Earth Cafes Ltd., confirmed to Dished that the company is looking to take over a number of shuttered Starbucks locations, starting with spaces in Ontario.
“Our big push right now is into the GTA, we’re definitely looking to take a number of locations with the Toronto region and probably down into southwestern Ontario as well,” Going told Dished.
“We don’t have a number, we’re just looking at the real estate. We’re looking at not taking over some of their poorer [performing] locations; we’re looking at ones that have strong traffic and sales for them.”
