Here is a very interesting article on a major shift in the franchise world, as Recipe Unlimited Corp has decided to accept an offer from it's largest shareholder, Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. This is interesting as we have seen many of the companies brands closing thier doors in Western Canada, mainly Swiss Chalet which has seen limited success in the last few years out West.

We are very proud to announce today, the signing of a new location for Olivier Reynaud and Paul Rogalski, for their newest restaurant Bistro Rouge located in West Market Square on Sirocco Drive SW. This will be a fantastic addition to the Westside Area for people who love great food and great service, set in a contemporary French Brasserie.
The partnership of Olivier Reynaud and Executive Chef Paul Rogalski garnered critical acclaim when they opened Rouge in the iconic A.E. Cross House, located in the historic Inglewood area of Calgary. Since opening their doors 11 years ago, the accolades have poured in including making the prestigious San Pellegrino World’s Best Restaurants List (2010).
We want to thank Olivier & Paul for the opportunity to work with them on this exciting project and we wish them much success in this new venture.

Well…. it’s been a while since I have blogged, but I have a good reason today. I met up with a buddy of mine, Richard Fuller for lunch, he is the owner of The Trough Dining Co. in Canmore. It was just a reason to have a bite and get the 411 on what’s happening in Canmore. If you haven’t been to The Trough, it is reason enough to make the beautiful drive to Canmore. Dana and I love the place, Richard takes great care of his customers, the food is fantastic and it’s a great romantic evening, check it out!
We decided to visit another friend of mine, who I just helped purchase his latest restaurant. I had listed Capo for Giuseppe & Fiona Di Gennaro so that they could focus on their new project on 17th Ave, the stunning Borgo Trattoria. Rob Greco has purchased the old Capo space in Inglewood and it has now blossomed into The Fine Diner and the transformation is...

Can I use the word “WOP” without offending my many Italian friends? Well…. in this case I don’t have a choice and if I offend you with the reference, then go down to 1216 - 9th Ave SE, walk upstairs and tell Executive Chef Angelo Contrada and his business partner Jesse Johnson how you feel. But while you’re there..... try the pizza!!
This is the latest homerun from the duo that brought us Sugo in 2001. WOP is located right next door to Sugo in the old Nectar Desserts space. The focal point of the restaurant (besides the great pizza and affordable wine and beer selection) is the “Ferrariesque” pizza oven that pounds out pizza at an astonishing pace. The beauty of the oven is that you get a perfect pizza in less than the time it takes to check the oil in your Pinto. The casual warmth of the room is immediate and you feel right at home. This is...

Got an email this morning from my buddy Rob Hilditch of the Joey's Only group of companies, telling me he is growing a moustache (Texas handlebar with a soul patch I was later informed) to raise money for Prostate Cancer research. So after I stopped shaking with laughter and found my Blackberry on the floorboard of my truck, (all the while trying not to drive off the road) I fired up the laptop and donated $50 bucks to this physically impossible, yet very good cause on behalf of Rob's efforts.
Now we are all aware that Prostate Cancer is not a laughing matter (Rob's face with a handle bar is an entirely different kettle of fish) and this is something that has touched both Rob and I in our families. I would love to be able to join Rob in his quest to raise as much money as possible, but I have 2 problems,
1) As most of you know I have a pretty healthy Goatee and no issues with its growth.

Well my trip to Edmonton was very positive for a number of different reasons, but one of which is VERY interesting.
I stopped into West Edmonton Mall after a meeting to grab a bite. As I walked down Bourbon Street, feeling like I was back in Vegas, I decided to park myself at a table in Hudson's. Now this is not my first time at Hudson's, but it was at this location, and it's beautiful! Lot's of TV's, a warm inviting atmosphere and very friendly service proved that I made the right choice. I looked through the menu, which was varied and complete without needing an guided tour and a nap before deciding on what to have. I ordered a LOADED Burger (don't tell Dave my trainer) and some Cheese-sticks to start.
When the burger arrived.... I almost fell out of my chair, it was LOADED for sure! As I giggled to myself, I grabbed my cell phone and called Chris Decock to harass him about the size of my...

Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in 202 Main STREET NW in Diamond Valley.
Land, Building and Business For Sale!
Coyote Moon Cantina & Espresso Bar has been operating on Main St in Diamond Valley (the former Turner Valley) since 2007, serving up great food to the locals and folks travelling on the Cowboy Trail. There is a wonderful warmth to the building, which was originally build as a fire station and then it became the Town Hall. The interior boasts lots of wood accents, character wooden tables and chairs, high ceilings and a wood burning fireplace to add heat and ambiance.
The menu serves up a great offering of solid breakfast and lunch items, the kind of food that you would expect in a small town, delicious, rustic and well priced. From burgers to bennies, sandwiches and salads, there is something for anyone. If a new owner wanted to open for dinner they could expand the hours and the annual revenue quite easily. The restaurant sits across the street from the baseball & soccer fields, waterpark and community centre, as well as the ice rink, Sheep River Library and the Diamond Valley Municipal Campground.
The current owners are ready to retire and hand over the reins to a new owner with new ideas and energy. Call for a tour of this wonderful chance to own your building and business in a growing community only 45 minutes from Calgary
Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in Calgary, Calgary.
Canadian Brewhouse For Sale in Alberta
Not very often do these stores come up for sale, as most of them are corporately owned. The current owner has multiple business holdings and would like to focus on those, so they have decided to put this store up for sale. This absolutely immaculate store is an amazing opportunity for the right buyer. It is one of the nicest builds I have walked through in my career, it has all the bells and whistles.
The Canadian Brewhouse has been in business for over 20yrs and now boasts over 40 locations Canada wide. This is a rare opportunity to own one of these amazing restaurant/pub businesses. If you would like more information, please call for a full package.
Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in Calgary, Calgary.
Well Established Pub In The Heart Of The Red Mile
Fully built out pubs located in the most active part of 17th Ave SW are very hard to come by, so don’t delay in reaching out. The space is a little over 3,000 sqft with 150 seats (+/-) with what I would consider very favourable market rent for the area. The walk by traffic is VERY strong and the street profile is excellent. There is a full kitchen capable of serving a fully diverse menu, so you could turn this into virtually any type of establishment you could imagine. Specific details are available once you have signed an NDA. **LOCATION MAPPING IS NOT CORRECT FOR CONFIDENTIALITY REASONS** |
