Restaurant franchisor Foodtastic says it has acquired Central Social Hall.
The Alberta chain has two casual restaurant-bars in the Edmonton area.
Foodtastic did not say what it paid for the brand but says it intends to expand Central Social Hall in Alberta and other Canadian provinces over the next few years.
It says it pursued the acquisition because it wanted to add more strong Canadian brands to its portfolio.
Foodtastic is also behind many Second Cup, Milestones, Freshii, Quesada, PitaPit and Jimmy John’s restaurants.
Central Social Hall was founded in 2012 by Jerry Rota and Jesse Kupina.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 20, 2026.
