Overview
Harvey’s is Canada’s only home-grown hamburger chain with approximately
300 locations. We’ve been making hamburgers “a beautiful thing” since
1959, by freshly grilling and custom garnishing each and every one.
That’s why to this day Canadians rate Harvey’s hamburgers the best tasting burgers in the country.
Products & Services
Now our burgers aren’t as fast and they’re certainly not as cheap as
others. But that’s exactly what makes them better. Every burger is
freshly grilled, and freshly garnished in front of each Guest, with
exactly what and how much they want from our wide selection of
toppings. It’s what makes every Harvey’s burger “a beautiful thing.” So
sure they may cost a little bit more, but to Canadians who want a great
tasting burger, it’s worth it.
Training & Support
All Harvey’s
locations contribute 4% of sales to the Harvey’s Marketing fund which
provides brand building support including advertising, promotions, and
in-store merchandising materials to promote the brand and help grow
sales.
