KFC is KFC in Ottawa and PFK in Gatineau.
Business Depot is Bureau en gros in Gatineau.
The Bay is La Baie (now Baie d'Hudson).
It really depends on the chain. Canadian Tire is Canadian Tire everywhere. As are Best Buy, Future Shop.
The Home Depot and The Brick drop the "The" in Quebec though. So in their ads it sounds like "chez Home Dépôt" or "chez Brick (brick pronounced like French word "brique").
