'All of our customers comment and post and text friends, and it just happened that way. 'We constantly post on social media when we open a new location and ask where people want us to open next,' said Osmow. The company is also very active on social media, and the chatter became too hard to ignore as Sudburians had been clamouring online for some time to bring the restaurant North.

With three post-secondary schools in Greater Sudbury, the area was an attractive option for Osmow's due to the high number of students and a history of success in and around colleges and universities around Ontario. Our most popular item is our chicken on the rocks, we've got our chicken shawarma poutine - we're taking Arabic cuisine and the Canadian culture and we're blending the two.вЂќ and this is Osmow's.' We took Middle Eastern food and essentially blended it with the Canadian consumer base and the concept over here, and it really took off. 'It's considered to be an exotic food offering. Our low price point at about $10 average for a meal which resonates really well with students,' said Osmow. 'We're very popular with students, we have a lot of healthy options, a lot of vegan and gluten-free options so we tend to fit the demographic that the consumer is leaning towards now with more health-conscious options. In their close to 20 years in business, Osmow's has found a unique niche in the market and have carefully curated their menu to serve a wide-ranging customer base, along with catering to a specific base at the same time. Osmow's will deliver through third party food delivery service SkipTheDishes. By opening up two locations it makes it feasible for us to do delivery up there as well.' 'We want to have them far enough apart to draw from different customer bases, but also not too far apart. 'I made a lot of trips up to Sudbury over the past year and did the whole location scout to try to figure out what locations would be ideal,' said Osmow. The plan is to have locations both in the north and south ends of the city to serve as large a customer base as possible. 'We're actually going to be opening up two locations, one in New Sudbury right in front of New Sudbury Centre by the A&W, and the other one will be at 2040 Algonquin, in the Canadian Tire plaza near the Four Corners.' 'We've had a high demand to open in Sudbury for a long time now, a couple of friends that I went to university with have been asking me about it,' said Ben Osmow, franchising and operations director.

The move to Sudbury wasn't done on a whim, and the demand for an Osmow's in Sudbury has been growing for some time now. Sudbury will become the most northern location for Osmow's, with two shops slated to open Sept. On the go and need something a little more travel friendly? Another one of the restaurant's signature dishes is the chicken shawarma wrap, with the same carved chicken served in a pita with your choice of vegetables and sauces. It's a hearty meal that sells for $10 for a large plate and $8 for a medium plate at most locations. Simply put, it's chicken cooked on a rotating spit, finely carved and served over rice then topped with Osmow's signature sauces. Now that you know who they are, you might be asking, 'so what is Chicken on the Rocks?' In the past 18 years, the franchise has grown by leaps and bounds, and Sudbury will be home to the 83rd and 84thВ Osmow's locations. Osmow'sВ has been around since 2001, with its first location setting up shop in the Mississauga community of Streetsville. To residents in and around the GTA, the commercial rings true, but for Northern Ontarians, they might have been asking that very same question, вЂ“ 'who are these guys?' вЂ“ about the restaurant chain. Raptors players Fred VanVleet and Norman Powell feature in the commercial, shown inside a restaurant, when VanVleet asks 'what's the Chicken on the Rocks?' to which he's greeted with stares from restaurant patrons and an incredulous, 'who are these guys?' Toronto Raptors fans in the Nickel City may have caught a glimpse of a pair of Raps players chowing down on a dish called Chicken on the Rocks in an Osmow's commercial that aired frequently throughout the course of the NBA finals.
