A New "WOP" in Ingelwood

Posted on March 6, 2011 by Rob Campbell

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...

**PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR A RESTAURANT OWNER OPERATOR OR A MIXED USE DEVELOPER** Here is a rare opportunity to purchase a recently renovated, fully fixtured 6,000 sqft(+/-) restaurant or a prime redevelopment site on Centre Street North, located in the sought after community of Tuxedo Park. This 11,022 sqft(+/-) corner lot is located on the future Green Line LRT Route, within close proximity to a proposed station. The current zoning of Commercial - Corridor 2 (C-COR2 f1.0h10) allows for a wide variety of potential uses including; Pet Care, Restaurant, Veterinary Clinic, Brewery/Winery/Distillery, Carwash, Child Care, Drive Thru. The renovations to the space were recent and of a very high quality, and make it VERY easy for a restauranteur to come in and open quickly with minimal renovation costs. The building is split into two sections, an up and lower area, served by a common kitchen. You could set the building up as a restaurant/lounge with VLT’s or you could run 2 completely different restaurants, in two different spaces. One side has a patio, and the upper section has a great balcony for small bistro tables. There is parking out front with a portion of that being covered, as well as a pylon sign on the roadside. The kitchen is very well laid out with solid infrastructure capable of produce consistent volume to service the building as well as the very strong delivery market in the surrounding area. There is too much to cover here, please call to make an appointment to view this great opportunity!

Located on a busy street, in a very well established NW neighbourhood, this is a Local Cafe/Market with amazing Chef prepared “meals to go”. They serve up delicious Fratello specialty coffees and a variety of retail items, including food and spa products.

Pub’s in NW Calgary don’t come up very often, so this is a great opportunity. It is located in a neighbourhood strip mall with TONS of residential housing around it, making the true “neighbourhood pub”. They serve a great pizza and are able to do delivery as well. At 130 seats it is the perfect size, allowing you to do good volume, but not so big that it is hard to fill or hard to staff. There is a small patio out front for 24 people and the rent is very competitive with a good lease in place. They are a pub, but really focus on the food they serve, so it also has a bit of a restaurant feel as well. They do lots of parties and reservations for special events like retirements, birthdays etc, as well as serving lots of the area’s sports teams.
