When big companies in Canada leveled their management levels (hierarchy) in the 1990s, many middle managers were laid off and set up their own companies or bought franchises. This happened along with the fact that most of the new jobs in Canada were created by small businesses, and entrepreneurship became the national spotlight. The business listed in the following table is one of the fastest growing in the franchise industry.
