These five chains, namely ARAMARK Canada Ltd, Cara Operations Ltd, Sodexho Marriott Services Canada Ltd, Compass Group Canada and Laliberte and Associes, extend their services to airlines, businesses, campuses, hospitals, remote sites as well as the retail sector. With the continued expansion, these chains face the challenge of managing their own growth.
