About Franchise
My name is Kuldeep Singh Dhillon. I was born and raised in Punjab, India. I made the big decision to move to Canada in the year 2008. I am a 42-year-old married man and a proud father of a daughter and a son. I have worked in various fields since 2008, but ultimately being a businessman was always in the back of my mind.
When did you start your entrepreneurship journey? Did you do anything else before this journey? What have been some challenges you have experienced as an entrepreneur?
My entrepreneurship journey started in 2022 with the opening of the Boardwalk Fries Burgers Shakes restaurant. Before this journey, I managed a restaurant and worked for the Canada post. I faced numerous challenges during this journey, and the very first was taking the initial step toward this entrepreneurial world.
What made you choose Boardwalk?
I chose Boardwalk for various reasons. First was the quality and recipe of burgers, and especially their being fresh was a plus point. Secondly, I loved the concept of Halal, and this showed me that Boardwalk Burgers want to welcome every community to their restaurants, which is not very common. And lastly, the overall design, concept, and recipes made me choose this franchise.
What do you like about the restaurant franchisee business?
I like the restaurant franchisee business because I love serving customers, and getting their positive feedback makes me happy to do even better
for the community.
What does success look like? What has been your most significant business so far?
Success for me is being able to act on the dreams you have ever dreamt of. My success has been managing a restaurant and taking it to over a million-dollar business from scratch.
How did you get into this line of work?
I got into this line of work when I worked for my uncle in managing and running his restaurant
(Nando's).
What should Abbotsford's community expect from you and your team as you open the first Boardwalk restaurant in British Columbia?
The community of Abbotsford should expect an exceptional taste of our fresh burgers, hand-cut fries, and the best shakes. They will get the best fast-food experience with comfortable dine-in or take-out through our drive-thru. Our team is professionally trained to cook to the highest health standards and make fresh food for our customers, keeping in mind the requirements of our customers.
What's your favourite quote?
My favourite quote is, "Push yourself because no one else is going to do it for you."
Who is someone you admire?
I admire Chef Vikas Khanna, who also left his home country and migrated to the USA to achieve his dreams. Now his restaurants have won Michelin stars which is the highest reward a restaurant can get for their food, service, and so forth. Seeing him making it as one of the world's best chefs inspires me as even he started from scratch and is now world known.
What advice can you give to future entrepreneurs?
My advice to future entrepreneurs is to be patient and never stop until you achieve your goals.
Outside of work, what do you enjoy doing?
Outside of work, I enjoy spending at least a few hours in the gym and giving the rest of my time to my family and children.
