Earlier this year, it was revealed that healthy Canadian food chain iQ Food Co. would be making its way to Calgary. Now, we finally have news of what’s to come.

If you’re unfamiliar with iQ, the quick service spot offers a large menu of “nourishing, clean-eating dishes” including veggie and protein-packed bowls, smoothies, sandwiches, soups and more.

With seven locations in Ontario so far, Calgary is set to be the brand’s first foray into Western Canada.

As part of an agreement with Happy Belly, a leader in acquiring and scaling emerging food brands across Canada, a multi-unit franchisee will be bringing five locations to Calgary and the surrounding area.

The first of which will be opening at The Core Shopping Centre on Stephen Avenue, offering downtown workers a new spot to grab a healthy bite. This location is slated to open in fall 2026.

Area Development Agreements are in place across Alberta, Ontario, and British Columbia, totalling 80 committed units
