There are two chains I'd love to have in Winnipeg, those being a Rainforest Cafe, and a Richtree. The latter of which I still maintain that I'd love to get the antiques out of the basement at The Forks and put a Richtree down there. A Rainforest Cafe would look great in Polo Park, especially the new subdivided space.

Rainforest Cafe's are generally parts of large tourist destinations, which i am not quite sure if Winnipeg would be able to sustain their size. They pump through a lot of people and have large capacities - I would like one here though, great for entertaining the kids.
