Odd Burger, a vegan fast-food chain, is opening its fourth location in London, Ontario. Located at 645 Commissioners Road East, the restaurant brings the company's total to four locations with two additional restaurants set to open soon. Previously owned by Globally Local Technologies Inc., it rebranded last month as Odd Burger Corporation, went public and is listed as "ODD" on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

It opened its third restaurant in Vaughan, Ontario, Sunday, treating the neighborhood to 99-cent, non-dairy soft-serve ice cream. Half of all profits from its grand opening sales went to The Save Movement, a global grassroots organization founded in Toronto that works to save animals, save the climate and save human health.

"I appreciate our team for their dedication and hard work opening these new locations, especially considering the obstacles created by the pandemic," Odd Burger co-founder and CEO James McInnes said in a company press release. "We have essentially tripled our footprint compared to just a few months ago, and the result is we've dramatically expanded the availability of plant-based food that is healthier, more humane, and more sustainable than typical fast-food options."

Odd Burger plans to open 20 locations by this time next year, including a flagship New York City restaurant in Manhattan.

The restaurants operate as smart kitchens, which use state-of-the art cooking technology and automation solutions to deliver a delicious food experience to customers craving healthier and more sustainable fast food, McInnes said.
