That chain had a few locations around town and closed around ten years ago. Just to make things more confusing.

Went once, was very underwhelmed. Montana`s was way better, if I was to vote on it.

When your thing is steak "casual", and Montana's does it better, you are in trouble. IMO, of course. The Mr Mike’s here in the Peg was a lousy representation of the brand. I am surprised the franchisee didn’t get booted.
July 8, 20205 yr comment_479594 Couple more ice cream adventures. Dug and Betty’s is just excellent. No other way to put it. Top quality ice cream with generous portions. Sour cherry with dark chocolate is my new favourite, the pistachio does not disappoint. Tonight tried Sweet Annie’s for the first time. Bus stop out front, routes 19 and 50. It’s about a block North of Fermor on Westmount (South side is Beaverhill). Generous portions and the option of some baked treats as well. Both Vegan and Keto dessert options available. We’ve completed our list of new to try, anyone else have a “secret” favourite place?

Don Cherry owns Don Cherry's Sports Grill with locations across Canada. Since he was turfed last November from Sportsnet, I don't know how that has affected his restaurants.

Ron McLean had to put up with Cherry's off-screen objectionable comments for years and said nothing, so he was desperate to not get tarred with the same brush as Cherry. I do not blame him to get away from that.

I had high hopes for them based on things I had heard but was very disappointed the few times I went.

I do not blame him to get away from that. Cherry made Ron Maclean. Before CC he was just a young CBC sportscaster from Red Deer that nobody knew or cared about. Cherry made MacLean wealthy as well because his show was so popular & he rose up through the CBC ranks on HNIC because of it. Conveniently he saved his ass over Don when the chips were down. I think Cherry's time had come but Maclean went & saved himself. When Cherry went on his "You People" rant there was MacLean sitting in silence & nodding his head yes.
July 9, 20205 yr Author comment_479775 i went inside sweet tops today for a snickers twister, and the interior smelled funny. I think BJ's Ice cream had a better smell back when it existed

This particular one was rather large though (the guy owns about 1200 Pizza Huts and 400 Wendy's). https://popculture.com/trending/news/pizza-hut-wendys-bankruptcy-franchise/
July 20, 20204 yr comment_480763 Someone wrote that the one on Springfield and Henderson was lights off and closed. I know many years back that all of the Pizza Huts almost went out of business as the local franchisee went bankrupt...
