White Spot bids farewell to Richmond Centre location after more than three decades
A long-time Vancouver-based chain restaurant inside CF Richmond Centre will be closing its doors after more than 30 years of operation.
White Spot opened in the mall in 1990, serving up burgers and its signature Pirate Pak meals (which adults can order for one special day each year).
David Comuzzi, vice present of marketing and business development at White Spot, said the franchisee partner made the "difficult decision" to close its Richmond Centre location.
Sept. 14 will be the Richmond Centre White Spot's last day.
The reason this location will be closed is due to site-specific challenges related to the mall redevelopment and increasing lease costs, Comuzzi explained.
"This decision is in no way a reflection of the commitment and performance of our Richmond Centre team," he said.
A taphouse inside Vancouver International Airport is being converted to a new bar with more than 200 seats.
Stanley Park Taphouse has had an outpost in YVR since 2006, and recently, an application has been submitted by Host International of Canada to the City of Richmond to add more seating for its new concept.
The company confirmed the taphouse, located past security near gate B13 in the domestic terminal building, is in the process of being converted into Hangar 49 Tap and Tavern.
The restaurant and bar have an occupancy of 170 and will be adding 40 more seats for a total of 210 seats.
Its liquor service hours will stay the same from Monday through Sunday, 5 a.m. to midnight.
City staff stated in a report that the applicant had already received approval from YVR for structural changes and to increase its occupancy.
