History

New York Fries was founded in Brantford, Ontario by Jay Gould and his brother. In 1984 Jay and his brother were reading the New York Times and noticed an article that read: "The best french fries are at a little stand at the South Street Seaport." When the two brothers found the "little stand" they discovered New York Fries. They enjoyed the fries so much, they decided to buy the company. The location in New York City at South Street Seaport has since closed.

South St Burger Co

Recently the company has opened a chain of stores called South St. Burger Co. that makes the same fries as New York Fries and also sells hamburgers and salads. South St. Burger Co. has nine locations in the Greater Toronto Area, including four in Toronto and one each in Mississauga, Burlington, Aurora, Markham and Newmarket. Other locations include Barrie and Calgary. Another store in the GTA will open soon in Ajax. The name South St. Burger Co. comes from the name South Street Seaport, in New York City where the brothers founded the original New York Fries.

Despite the name of the company, there are no locations in New York City, or in the United States as of October 4, 2008. However, there were locations scattered about in Michigan shopping malls in the 1990s.[citation needed]

Corporate Stores

New York Fries has ten corporate stores in Canada. Seven of these stores are located in Toronto, Ontario, Winnipeg, Manitoba and two stores in Windsor, Ontario.

Locations

There are over 201 locations across Canada, the United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Hong Kong and Bahrain. There have been no stores in New York City since the original closed in the United States.

Canada

There are franchises in nine of Canada's ten provinces. Most locations are in shopping malls and movie theatres. There is also one in the University of Alberta, in the HUB mall.

Hong Kong

The first location in the Greater China Region opened in Hong Kong's Harbour City in December 2008. The franchise agreement requires them to open a minimum of 10 locations in Hong Kong and Macau within 5 years.

United Arab Emirates

New York Fries opened 2 stores in the UAE. They are located in Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Mall. They were opened in 2011.
