This was sad to see today.
Though we are happy to offer our delicious menu that you selected as the best BBQ in the city in our new location soon on Whyte Ave, we appreciate all of the support we’ve received from those sad that our signature location in one of the oldest and most historic buildings in our city will now be closed.
Though we are hopeful that someone will take it over, realistically it will be hard for anyone to make this location work, and like many other landmarks, this building may not make it too much longer in a city that tends to demolish its history.
We hope that we can serve as a lesson to the city of the consequences of actions that don’t just restrict development (or redevelopment), but in many cases completely prevent it.
This includes with endless permit delays, years of adjacent construction with no support, an inactive/ineffective Business Association, all coupled with one of the most struggling industries in the country right now.
We genuinely hope this building and other historic sites survive, but it will only happen with community, and leadership support.
Thank you North Edmonton!
