Nickels is a Canadian casual dining restaurant chain. The restaurant has an extensive menu ranging from complete breakfasts to hamburgers, milkshakes, pizza, chicken, ribs, salads and a number of sandwiches, including Montreal-style smoked meat.

History

[edit]

Nickels was originally created by pop diva Céline Dion and four friends, who opened their first restaurant in 1990. The name came from the couple's lucky number, 5.[1] The parent company claims an ongoing business relationship with Dion.

Nickels has since expanded to several franchised restaurants located primarily in Quebec and Ontario. Originally designed to resemble a typical North American family diner, Nickels redesigned some of its restaurants and introduced a grill and bar concept. The most recent iteration is operating as Nickels Delicatessen with a deli and bar concept.

Nickels is now part of the Foodtastic group of restaurants which also includes Les Rôtisseries Benny, La Belle & La Boeuf, Souvlaki Bar, Carlos & Pepe's, Vinnie Gambini's Italian Restaurants, Bacaro, Chocolato, Big Rig, Monza and Au Coq.[2]
