The Franchise Expo Montréal 2026: where to stay downtown

The Franchise Expo returns to Montréal's Palais des Congrès for a two-day showcase of North America's most active franchisors and business opportunities. Investors, entrepreneurs and career-changers get direct access to brand representatives, discovery seminars and side-by-side comparisons of investment levels. Exhibitors span food service, retail, services and start-up concepts, with teams on hand to answer franchise disclosure questions and walk you through the onboarding process. Free seminars cover legal considerations, financing options and how to evaluate a franchise agreement. Bring your partner, compare concepts under one roof and leave with a shortlist of businesses that fit your budget and goals.
