Pop-A-Lock of Mississauga, a Pop-A-Lock Locksmith franchise, is set to open in Mississauga, Ontario in February 1, 2012.

An established franchise in the United States, Pop-A-Lock® successfully expanded into Australia in the fall of 2010. “We are becoming a global brand with our recent entries into Canada and Australia,” says Don Marks, CEO of SystemForward America, which franchises Pop-A-Lock®.

The new location will be owned and operated by John Inglis, whose previous experience includes 25 years as a financial services executive in retail banking, small business and merchant service sales, product and relationship management. “John will be a strong validator for our first franchise as we endeavour to be Canada’s largest and most trusted locksmiths,” says Pete Crouse, Master Franchisee for Pop-A-Lock® in Canada.

Since opening in 1991, Pop-A-Lock® has become the largest professional locksmith franchise in the world, with over 135 locations.
