I really don’t get the attraction for restaurants downtown and in particular, this location. The have been so many failed pizza joints on Main St, am sure the list would be as long as my arm. Even the nice Syrian fella at Mommas always seems to have an empty shop, even during lunch hour.
I know people in the food biz DT and it’s a small margin area. From what I hear, Main has some of the highest property taxes per sq ft, in NB. If it rains, then streets are empty. If it’s really cold, the streets are empty. And rent is NOT cheap.
It’s great to have all this selection, but I can’t understand how all could survive with all this competition with a revenue pool that’s not getting bigger. Yes, the events centre is coming, and I think it will help, but not near as much as the “think tank” suggests.
Also doesn’t help when the city take one of the busiest days of the year on Main, and then move it to the park on Assomption.
Bottom line, I think Pizza Girls (had their pizza, meh) is going to go the same direction as the previous restaurants, Megawrap, possibly Pita Pit (but that might have been different building) , Alexandria’s, Burrito Jax, and whatever ones I might have missed.
