I would understand not wanting to hand the keys over to someone who will wreck the legacy of your famous business name. imagine going to Golden Inn or Glamorgan after they've been sold, and suffering through grocery freezer quality S&P squid or cheese buns.

I go there every couple of weeks, my daughter pretty much lives on their cheese buns.

Just checked their Facebook and there was a post a few days ago that referred to one of their employees as "new owner Corrin" so hopefully the rumour is false and it is just a transition of ownership (with the same recipes kept).

Hmm there's also talk of a new Chick-Fil-A opening on McLeod in that Reddit link. I'm really hoping that's true as I've been waiting for them to make their come back here. That old airport location was such a pain, especially once they got rid of the free parking period.

Reddit is full of morons, why are you believing anything they say?

Yeah. Their excitement about chick-fil-a and jollibee is an indication of being bad human beings.

Thi Thi is going this route... owners are stepping away and are selling the business.

Sr. Mints sent me a video  I recognize him now, the one with the Berenstain Bears books, somehow I glossed over the Lego in the center table! I usually beeline to the cramped videogame guy.

Could be BS but seems fairly pointless to post it and then corroborate it with their friend who works there. Maybe the friend is wrong?

It’s the exact sort of thing that would get misconstrued.
