History

1959 and 1960s: inception and growth

Harvey's was co-founded by George B. Sukornyk and Rick Mauran in early 1959 as equal shareholders. Mauren chose the name "Harvey's" from the name of a car dealership he saw advertised in the Toronto Telegram in the summer of 1959. The name Humphrey's was also considered. The first Harvey's location was opened on April 1, 1959, at the southeast corner of Yonge Street and Observatory Lane in Richmond Hill, Ontario, on a 10-acre (40,000 m²) parcel of land purchased from the owner of a bankrupt Dairy Queen. The first franchised location was on company-owned property on Avenue Road. Subsequently, land was purchased on The Queensway West, Toronto, Barton Street in Hamilton and Eglinton Ave East in Toronto, just before Warden, where locations were developed and then franchised. The 238 Bloor Street West location, opposite Varsity Arena, was opened as a company-owned and operated location. It was sold by Cara in early 2006 to One Bedford, a condo project. Beginning in 1963, Harvey's purchased 39 parcels of land in Niagara Falls, Ottawa, Montreal, Buffalo and Winnipeg with the exception of one leased property. Sukornyk insisted, where possible, that all property be company-owned in order to provide equity and stability to the company's balance sheet.

The organization has released several copyright-licenses known as Creative Commons licenses free of charge to the public. These licenses allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve, and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators. An easy-to-understand one-page explanation of rights, with associated visual symbols, explains the specifics of each Creative Commons license. Creative Commons licenses do not replace copyright, but are based upon it. They replace individual negotiations for specific rights between copyright owner (licensor) and licensee, which are necessary under an "all rights reserved" copyright management, with a "some rights reserved" management employing standardized licenses for re-use cases where no commercial compensation is sought by the copyright owner. The result is an agile, low-overhead and low-cost copyright-management regime, profiting both copyright owners and licensees. Wikipedia uses one of these licenses.
