THE RETURN OF WALLY'S

Wally's Burgers, the iconic, '60s-vintage, fast food institution that closed its doors on Kingsway last year is coming back -- only, not to Kingsway.

Gord Bemister, an ex-producer at CFUN radio, has purchased the rights to the name and the trademark menu items, and has reopened Wally’s Burger’s in Cates Park, North Vancouver.  But unlike the original, this won't be the "one and only" Wally's in town. Bemister is looking into opening several more outlets around the city, with the next site possibly in Gastown.

Will customers who loved the old Wally's for its famous "Chuck Wagons" and shakes, not to mention the gravity defying Deluxe Combo Burger complete with wiener, fried egg and secret sauce, be able to indulge once again?  One thing's for sure, the place won't really be a Wally's without the prodigious use of neon signage - both inside and outside the restaurant.

Stay tuned.
