I occasionally go around looking at store fronts to see what I can see this time I was up in the BLIP and Larry Uteck.
First the Dragon King is under renos but they took their sign down so I predict a new name and I am going to predict sushi.
There is another space being renovate it in the same plaza that is going to be American chain Party City
Then there is this which will be extended this summer to make way for the BLIP expansion.
That is why Marshall’s is renovating the old Value Village and Pennington space to make a store by this future busy road
While over in Larry Uteck this space beside Eastlink is being reno’d inside not sure what it is but looks like it may be more of a service
Across the Rotary though beside Second Cup the BOOM Burger is being worked on
I noticed that another Goji has opened beside where Morris East is, oh good more froyo
I wonder how these smaller enterprises survive, for example, I believe now there’s 5-6 different froyo companies in town and Im’ sorry but you have to stop and wonder who’s making money? Although I like the franchise model and have researched it somewhat, I can’t get over the money for the franchise fee, and on top of that say another 200K in renos. it’s like give your head a shake, and then rent, where does it stop? At the end of the day, you gota sell a mega tonne of it to make any money.
Boom Burger like the one in Charlottetown? It’s a pretty good rip off of Five Guys.
yup, BOOMBurger PEI burger joint
