Incredibly unique opportunity to take over a waterfront restaurant. This restaurant has a fully vented kitchen and a capacity of over 100 guests. What makes this free-standing Harbour-front Restaurant unique is the 70-person patio that overhangs the water providing stunning views of the marina. The business is profitable and has shown continued sales growth and has ample room for further growth through extended hours and days as it currently operates only 5 days per week. The restaurant has always operated semi seasonally allowing the owner to close for two months of the year. The business is well-loved by the local community. There is an opportunity for the next operator to continue the same concept or re-brand and create a new fresh concept for this unique waterfront restaurant. Great lease in place at $5000 per month. Do not visit without setting up an appointment.

Better Acres ice cream has opened in the former Irish linen shop space in government street. It looks nice

This is now an ice cream-heavy street.

[Blue Steel]

Yeah, Better Acres is such a sweet looking place. (Fun colour scheme, great tiling, also pun.) And it’s a knock-out location with the cruising hoards climbing off busses out front. The staff is super friendly but too bad the acoustics are terrible, terrible, terrible. 

The ice cream is really good, made in Brentwood Bay, soon to be made in store. Maybe it’s not quite as good as Overboard, which is that new place under Breakwater Bistro. 

Acres is across from Favoris, which sells a goopy candy-coated soft concoction, and it’s almost next door to the gelato place where they claim they serve locally made gelato. (Is it? Could be, but it’s difficult to know what’s true and what’s not in that row of businesses with perpetual close-out sales.) 

Government Street is going to become even more ice cream-heavy if Cold Cones ever gets around to opening, down by the soon-to-open LuLu Lemon.  

[aastra]

Should we start referring to it as the ICD (ice cream district) or would "ice cream row" suffice?

This is not a trivial point. There's only so much room on those wayfinding signs. The last thing we need during this hot weather is an easily preventable ice cream-related tragedy.

[aastra]

^But I remain unconcerned about ice cream-related tragedies that would have been difficult to prevent.

The store said it would not be able to continue operating unless it took on “considerable debt,” and that owners felt that wasn’t a prudent decision.

 

“We keep referring to this challenge in operating as ‘a time,’ but alas, it is time to accept that this is no longer ‘just a time,’” wrote the donut shop.

 

“It is our reality, and we no longer see a sustainable way to keep going in this business.”

 

The store asks that people refrain from offering business suggestions on how to stay open, as owners say they reviewed all the options available to them, and came to the decision to close with a heavy heart.
