Entrepreneurs Communities Across Canada
Flourish with Education, Mentorship, and Grants!
VAUGHAN,
ON, Oct. 2, 2024 /CNW/ - Pizza Hut Canada
isn't just serving up piping hot delicious pies—they're also
committed to creating meaningful impact in communities across
Canada. Since its inaugural debut
in 2021, the Equal Slice Program has successfully empowered over
190 entrepreneurs, through education, mentorship, and a combined
total of $300,000 in grants.
Aimed at leveling the playing field, the Equal Slice Program is
committed to equity, opportunity, and unity across entrepreneurs in
Canada. Building on Pizza Hut
founders Dan and Frank Carney's
entrepreneurial spirit and the strength of our franchisee network,
Pizza Hut Canada is dedicated to paying it forward and creating a
lasting impact for communities across the country. With a thorough
selection process, the program ensures that every participant
receives comprehensive business education and invaluable
mentorship. Additionally, five standout grant recipients are
selected to receive a $20,000 grant.
This support provides entrepreneurs with essential coaching,
business education, and financial capital at no cost, driving
economic empowerment and community upliftment.
To date, the Equal Slice Program has welcomed over 193 visionary
owners into the fold and awarded $300,000 in grants. The program has ignited the
dreams of past grant recipients such as Danielle Murrell
Cox, Zuri & Dre, who benefited from the program's support,
gaining valuable insights into strengthening their entrepreneurial
skills, refining business strategies, and advancing their knowledge
on growing and structuring their successful businesses.
"The success of the Equal Slice Program demonstrates our
commitment to empowering entrepreneurs," says Chris Taylor, Chief People Officer, Pizza Hut.
"Our Equal Slice Program provides entrepreneurs with the support
they need to refine their skills, enhance their business
strategies, and achieve their goals, empowering them to make a
meaningful impact in their communities."
Interested in joining the journey of empowerment, one slice at a
time? Canadians can nominate themselves and/or entrepreneurs from
their networks to be considered in the Equal Slice Program, which

Equal Slice Program by making a contribution in-person or online at
