History

The first Milestones location opened on Denman Street in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1989. In 2002, Cara (now known as Recipe Unlimited) purchased a majority stake in the restaurant from the previous parent company, BC-based Spectra Group, Inc.^[1]^[2] Prior to Cara's acquisition, nearly all Milestones restaurants were located in British Columbia, with four locations in Ontario and one in Washington state.^[1] Cara rapidly expanded Milestones operations into eastern Canadian cities, including Toronto, Ottawa, Niagara Falls, and London.^[3] At the end of 2011, Milestones expanded into Kingston, Barrie, Waterloo, and Cambridge.^{[citation needed]} On July 14, 2021, Montreal based restaurant franchiser Foodtastic acquired Milestones.
