well I can confirm that there was a signage spotting for Freddy's on my end. I won't go on day one I want things to settle before I go (though granted I went to firehouse the day it opened it wasn't nuts)

 

Their menu is ready (aww they're not going to sell their fry sauce in a bottle here) I've been studying the menu for months and I've already figured out what I will order

What are you talking about?  In that immediate area the only fast food burger places they have are:   McDonalds,  Burger King, Nuburger, Fatburger,  Burger Factory,  Wayback Burger, Georges,  A&W, Sals,  Five Guys, and I'm probably missing a few more...  

My kids enjoyed the frozen custard at Culvers in the States,  though they could barely tell the difference between eating that and getting soft ice cream anywhere else.   I don't think it's enough of a differentiator that will make it stand out.   

The location also isn't the greatest,  the few times that I've gone to Firehouse subs,  the Boutans and Mucho Burrito which are next door have been completely dead.

We checked out Watt Bistro Pho  (the newish location on Plessis and Regent)  the other day and tried the vermicelli pork + spring rolls and also the Pho.   Both were large in size and fresh and had a lot of flavour.   We will be going back since Phuong Nam (our regular spot) is a bit of a drive and this is much closer.     I believe they also do bubble tea.     

I'd recommend for those in the area.

Hi guys. I've been sitting on a restaurant theme for a while and figured I'd Guage the reaction here first.

As some of you may know, I own a few concession trailers, mostly based on carnival foods.

I've been floating the idea of opening up a carnival foods style joint. Carnival themed, with some games, of course all the carnival favorites. A new weekly item from the ridiculous American midways.

Of course would still carry the burgers, fries, etc but the angle is on the carnival stuff. 

Cheese curds, hand Dipped corndogs, blooming onion, Funnel cake, oreos, donuts, etc etc

Does this tickle anyone's fancy or nah. Keep it to an annual novelty
