The CEO of the Salisbury House restaurant chain isn't holding out much hope for customers of its Tuxedo location after he was informed its home for the past 27 years will be leased to the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission.
Earl Barish said he is extremely disappointed because he called the landlord at the Tuxedo Park Shopping Centre several months ago about extending his lease and didn't hear back until June, when he received a letter informing him his 2,600-square-foot space will be used for a liquor-store expansion early next year. He said 60,000 people patronize the restaurant each year.
