R.I.P. Casey's. R.I.P. St Hubert??
Cara Operations Ltd eyes fast-casual dining, menu innovation to boost sales http://business.financialpost.com/news/ ... oost-sales
From the article:
"Since Cara merged with Prime Restaurants in 2013, it decided to phase out brands in its stable that have too much of an overlap. Casey’s, a 25-unit chain, will be converted into the larger Kelseys chain and other concepts such as Fionn McCool’s, beginning in July"
Since Cara foods already owns Swiss Chalet, I'm purely speculating that they have a desire to buy St. Hubert restaurants and convert them all into Swiss Chalets.
Further down the article it reads:
"Cara will look to set up an office in Quebec to establish a bigger presence in the province, or look at acquiring a Quebec-based company."
The elimination of St. Huberts is purely a guess at this point, but it does make some sense...
