five guys should open soon hopefully

That new hot dog place on Granville is amazing. A bit expensive but the dogs they have are wide ranging and real, real good. Also a great place for Root Beer fans

[vancityrox]

Yeah Dougies is pretty good. I tried the Chili Dog and it was good but not Pink's good good. Love the different kinds of root beers tho. The place is a tiny over priced for "average dogs"...

To me no dog will be as good as Pink's (cant beat the prices as well).....even Japadog :O

TD in Columbia Square is opening on March 8th. The Pharmasave looks maybe a month away from opening, and the BoM looks to be maybe two months away.

Yeah the first time I went I had no idea what to order but the lady at the cash register was very helpful. I suggest the super mario dog.

Coming Soon!

201599 88 Avenue
Langley, BC V1M 0A4

and seem they are hiring for park royal - the same call for Langley went out in December

Five Guys Burgers and Fries is coming to West Vancouver in the Park Royal Mall. We are looking for store managers, assistant managers, and store employees. We are hiring immediately for all management positions.

I hope they open one in Burnaby/Tri-Cities soon. Needs more NW action..

[geoff's two cents]

Processed cheese makes me sick. Unless they offer a cheddar alternative (unlike their US locations), I'll never go here.

[GeeCee]

I could see it happening. Lots of restaurants up here do as well, such as Red Robin (processed cheese is default, but you can ask for cheddar instead).
