Organization
Harvey's has sales of $269 million, 286 restaurants, almost 7,000 employees, and 50 million guests annually. Many, but not all, Canadian Home Depot locations feature Harvey's restaurants since the mid-90s. In fact, the chain's only locations in British Columbia and Manitoba are inside Home Depot stores or local airports, specifically those in Vancouver and Winnipeg.
There is one location in Saskatchewan, in Saskatoon at the University of Saskatchewan in Place Riel. The chain's previous locations in Saskatchewan, all in Home Depots, closed in 2006. Before the opening of the Home Depot locations, Harvey's was operated as a free-standing restaurant in Saskatoon and Regina before closing in 1990. Harvey's also currently lacks a presence in Newfoundland and Labrador, where the only two locations closed no later than late 1990s. One location was free-standing at 985 Topsail Road, Mount Pearl, Newfoundland (now home to Vogue Optical), which closed in the late 80s – early 90s, and a Harvey's/Swiss Chalet in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. Both restaurant locations (including Swiss Chalet) have now closed. Harvey's closed several Montreal-area locations throughout the 2000s, including two Dollard-des-Ormeaux locations in 2007 and a newly-renovated one in 2008 (however, it moved to Montreal's nearby Pierrefonds-Roxboro borough, respectively. Most Harvey's locations in Montreal (particularly standalone locations) remain open. Three Harvey's locations in Halifax, Nova Scotia have closed between 2004 and 2008.

—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
