I think Gus always resisted offers to franchise - probably turned down $ millions.

Joanne Rowe and her husband Stephen Hayden weren't even a glimmer in their parents' eyes when Gus Pieters flipped his first burger in Calgary.

Despite the time gap, and the pressure of carrying on the tradition of one of Calgary's famed fast-food restaurants, the young, new owners of the 16th Avenue N.E. drive-thru say they are up for the challenge.

On a busy day, Peters' will serve about 5,000 burgers, 4,000 milkshakes and 2,500 orders of fries.
