Good to know it's close to home. Will definitely try it out!

Hudson's has been looking to enter Regina for like 5 years. If that turned out to be the first location I'd just have to laugh.

Why's that?

Hudsons Saskatoon is in the heart of downtown. They have a very urban patio.

South Albert isn't exactly a luxury location.

Gotcha - they tend for downtown (e.g.: Stoon), active bar/pub strips (Whyte Ave & WEM), or big box developments (Crowfoot). I agree - S. Albert is none of these

Glad to see. Michi was a downtown staple and it's good to see retail return to Scarth

Anyone know what's going into Green Spot's most recent location? Crews have been working on it for the past couple of weeks - no 'coming soon' signage, though.

Manager at Brewsters north today said that all three locations are closing. The south one will be the first one to close. Sounds like they will all close over the next couple of months.

Wow! They're always busy anytime I've gone. Not one i'd expect to just disappear like that. Is the head office in trouble?

Lots of new competition. How may pubs have opened in the last few years. Probably 15 if you count chains.

And when you consider that even Brown's has run out of money...

So Brewster's in Regina is not connected to the Alberta chain?

In fact, they started here and expanded to Alberta. I'm not sure, however, if they still have the same ownership.

They seem to be separate companies now with different websites and logos.

This is correct. The Brewster's in Calgary specifically wanted to go another direction than the ones in Regina. They are indeed two separate entities with no connection other than name now. I learned this during an interview with one of the partners in Calgary.

That's weird - they've just gone through a rebranding exercise. Last ditch effort, I guess. They always seem busy when I got there (admittedly, I haven't been in about 6-8months, due in large part to more options... most with better beer options).

My friends and I used to go there religiously on Mondays for wing and schooner night. Could get an order of both for $10 if I can remember. Boy has that changed since.

Hudson's had been in talks with them for months about the location. However it's pathetic that Hudson's is going there when they've had ample opportunities in much better central locations. I hope that plan falls apart, for Hudson's sake.

There is also an application for a takeway coffee shop location at 3008 13th Avenue

Hopefully that goes through and hopefully Gales sells the building soon considering how horrifically underutilized the building is.
