Basil Box

This franchise is no longer operating. Basil Box closed all of its locations, both corporate and franchised, on 14 May 2026, and its website is no longer online. The closure was a deliberate wind-down rather than an insolvency, and there was no sale or restructuring process. This listing is kept for reference only and the opportunity is not available.

Basil Box was a fast-casual Asian bowl concept founded in 2015 by Peter Chiu, serving build-your-own rice and noodle bowls inspired by Thai and Vietnamese street food, with an emphasis on gluten-free and vegan options. Its first store opened at Square One in Mississauga and it reached a peak of roughly 17 locations in Ontario and Alberta around 2019, before contracting to a handful of Toronto sites. It began franchising in 2018.
