MONTREAL – Foodtastic Inc., a franchisor of restaurant concepts in the province of Quebec, recently acquired Les Rotisseries Au Coq, a chain of restaurants that specialize in delivery and carryout of rotisserie-style chicken.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed, but Foodtastic noted that Au Coq is the second of several expected acquisitions financed by a C$47 million investment in Foodtastic.
