Priszm LP was the largest operator of Canadian fast food restaurants. The Priszm Income Fund, an income trust, owned 60.2% of Priszm.

Priszm was one of the largest franchisees of Yum! Brands in the world, owning over 746 restaurants of various Yum!-owned chains in Canada, namely KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and WingStreet. The majority of its locations were KFC restaurants, some of which are co-branded with the Taco Bell and Pizza Hut brands. Priszm was also responsible for KFC's national marketing and promotions within Canada from 2003 to 2009. [2] The close relationship between the two companies extends to sharing the same Canadian headquarters in Vaughan, Ontario.

All stores have been sold by the end of 2012. [2]
