That chain had a few locations around town and closed around ten years ago. Just to make things more confusing. TrueBlue4ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went once, was very underwhelmed. Montana`s was way better, if I was to vote on it. Super Duper Negatron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your thing is steak "casual", and Montana's does it better, you are in trouble. IMO, of course. The Mr Mike’s here in the Peg was a lousy representation of the brand. I am surprised the franchisee didn’t get booted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCJenks Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Couple more ice cream adventures. Dug and Betty’s is just excellent. No other way to put it. Top quality ice cream with generous portions. Sour cherry with dark chocolate is my new favourite, the pistachio does not disappoint. Tonight tried Sweet Annie’s for the first time. Bus stop out front, routes 19 and 50. It’s about a block North of Fermor on Westmount (South side is Beaverhill). Generous portions and the option of some baked treats as well. Both Vegan and Keto dessert options available. We’ve completed our list of new to try, anyone else have a “secret” favourite place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Cherry owns Don Cherry's Sports Grill with locations across Canada. Since he was turfed last November from Sportsnet, I don't know how that has affected his restaurants.

I do not blame him to get away from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherry made MacLean wealthy as well because his show was so popular & he rose up through the CBC ranks on HNIC because of it. Conveniently he saved his ass over Don when the chips were down. I think Cherry's time had come but Maclean went & saved himself. When Cherry went on his "You People" rant there was MacLean sitting in silence & nodding his head yes.

bigg jay Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 11 minutes ago, iHeart said: the US Franchisee filed for Bankruptcy, not the Canadian Franchisee It would be A franchisee since there is no one single franchise owner in either the US or Canada. This particular one was rather large though (the guy owns about 1200 Pizza Huts and 400 Wendy's). https://popculture.com/trending/news/pizza-hut-wendys-bankruptcy-franchise/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Someone wrote that the one on Springfield and Henderson was lights off and closed. I know many years back that all of the Pizza Huts almost went out of business as the local franchisee went bankrupt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
