The owners of the local Tim Horton's in greater Moncton (all 36 locations) have used their fortune to become local developers. One of their properties is the new Hyatt Place Hotel across the street from the Avenir Centre downtown. They wanted a signature restaurant for the hotel. They vacation in Florida regularly, and, apparently Carrabbas was their go to restaurant down there. They lobbied the chain successfully, and they secured the first international Carrabbas franchise for Moncton.
I believe it is still the only Carrabbas location in Canada.
