History

New York Fries started as a stand at South Street Seaport. In 1983, Jay and Hal Gould found the stand from a New York Times review and initially bought the Canadian rights, eventually buying out the entire company in 1987.^[2]

The first Canadian location opened on August 16, 1984 at Scarborough Town Centre. It initially only sold fries and cola.^[3] The brand later introduced poutine onto its menu in 1989.^[4]

Cara Operations (now known as Recipe Unlimited) bought New York Fries in September 2015.^[5]
