White Spot

White Spot is a Canadian restaurant chain based in Vancouver, British Columbia, best known for its hamburgers, Pirate Pak children's meal, "Triple O" sauce, and milkshakes.

In 1982, White Spot returned to local ownership when the company was purchased by BC businessman Peter Toigo, becoming part of Shato Holdings Limited.

The decision made it easier for diners to sue restaurants for breach of contract and implied warranty instead of the harder-to-prove negligence (Canadian tort law expressly disavows strict product liability).

[12] The company opened its first international location across the nearby United States border in Bellingham, Washington, in 1993 with plans to continue expanding in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

[13] The Bellingham location closed three years later due to financial issues and low traffic attributed to a weak Canadian dollar.

[14][15] Abroad, White Spot has expanded its Triple O's chain into Hong Kong in the early 2000s and, more recently, Bangkok, Singapore, Manila, and Mainland China.
