New Vernon restaurants getting closer to opening
North Okanagan residents will soon have more quick-service dining and take-out options in Vernon.
Work continues on the Triple O’s Burgers and Popeyes Louisiana Chicken restaurants which are in an adjoined building on 27th Street beside Co-Op Gas.
Triple O’s, which is owned by the British Columbia’s White Spot chain, is expected to open in mid-February, with word that Akbal Mund will be the manager. Mund is a former co-owner of Wendy’s Restaurants in Vernon and the Interior.
The staff will be hired in January.
