In 2000, Pizza Delight purchased Mikes,[2] a prominent chain in Quebec and Ontario, for $15 million. Further acquisitions followed; the company acquired Scores in 2005, and Baton Rouge in 2006.[3] In 2006, it changed its name to Imvescor, to reflect its larger stable of restaurants.[3] At its peak, the company owned and operated over 350 restaurants across Canada under four different banners. These included:
- 95 Pizza Delights
- 94 Mikes Restaurants
- 28 Bâton Rouge Restaurants
- 40 Scores Restaurants
In December 2017, MTY Food Group acquired Imvescor (including Pizza Delight) for $248 million.[4]
