The Franchise Expo Edmonton 2026: where to stay

The Franchise Expo Edmonton brings together some of North America's fastest-growing franchise brands and business opportunities under one roof at the Edmonton Expo Centre. Over two days, prospective franchisees, investors and entrepreneurs can meet face to face with franchisors, ask detailed questions about investment levels and support, and compare full-time and part-time ownership options across every industry. The show is designed to save visitors hundreds of hours of research. Exhibitors range from established national chains to newer concepts actively expanding in the Edmonton market, covering food and beverage, retail, services, health and wellness, and more. Free seminars run throughout the weekend on topics such as legal advice, financing, choosing the right business and government assistance programs. Whether you are looking to own your own business for the first time or add a franchise to an existing portfolio, The Franchise Expo Edmonton is the place to meet franchisors in a no-pressure environment. Admission is free for pre-registered visitors, and show hours are Saturday 11am to 5pm and Sunday 11am to 4pm.
