Roy Hildebrand bought a franchise in 1979 and became the franchisor in 1982. Roy and his family quickly expanded the chain, opening locations throughout Western Canada.

Frank Di Benedetto acquired Ricky's[4] in 1997 as majority owner, President and CEO. Ricky's All Day Grill. Ricky's is now open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
