it isn't unheard of for a restaurant staying put to remove an old, dated sign and replace it with one of the current on-brand ones. The prime example is the retirement of the KFC spinning bucket signs.

In terms of the Henderson location, Stellas would likely have been a better fit. Not that Stellas should be held up as the best example of local food in Winnipeg. That said they do extremely well where ever the locate and the northeast section of Winnipeg is completely a blank slate for them.

Another good fit would be Cora but not sure exactly what their local expansion plans are.
