And there goes Wendy's too.

A few years ago Wendy's came to Fairmont. This weekend it closed. Unlike the Starbucks, I will miss Wendy's. There's no word as to what will become of the place. As far as I can tell the neighboring ex-Starbucks is just sitting vacant.

So far this year Starbucks, KFC, and Wendy's have closed. The Hardee's closed sometime last year, but that building is now an Arby's as of last December.

Another restaurant, The Goose, closed a few weeks ago. It will eventually re-open as "Kak's Lounge and Steakhouse" (with the 's' in Kak's reversed...) but not until January at the very earliest and perhaps as late as March. It will be interesting to see how it goes. The nice thing about the restaurant is that it's well within walking distance from home.
