History

Fryer's was founded on April 20, 1989, in Toronto, Canada. The first restaurant was established as a 20-stool counter operation. Originally, the chain consisted of only dine-in facilities, but after the success and customer's demand, most locations have since added drive-through.

In the media

In 2005, the company was featured in the TV series Alias.
