The Fran’s restaurant
The Fran’s tradition started over 70 years ago by Francis Deck. Francis was born in Buffalo, New York where his older brother Greg had started Deco Refreshments in 1918. Fran began openning out of town Deco locations. There were over 50 Deco locations in Buffalo alone. Fran and his wife Ellen Jane started Fran's in Toronto as a modest ten-stool diner at St.Clair and Yonge St in 1940, the couple’s vision was one of serving unique high quality food throughout the whole day to their customers.
Over the years Fran’s became a Toronto institution known across the city and surrounding areas for its unrivalled home style cooking and warm welcoming atmosphere. Offering fresh food 24 hours a day it quickly became a gathering place for people from all walks of life.
During it’s more than six-decade existence Fran’s has become famous for a number of its foods. Fran Deck first used the Banquet Burger, a common item in any restaurant today. Other notables are our rice pudding and chili, which have won numerous awards over the years. Don’t forget there is also our well-known Fran’s Brand Coffee and Apple pie too!
Today after so many years in Toronto’s competitive market Fran’s is still known as “the restaurant that never closes” (even during black-outs). The tradition is still carried on strong by the new owners, the Kim family, serving great food at great value around the clock. And that tradition is set to continue as we grow with our new locations.
Keep on the look out for new Fran's locations!!
