Sorry about the delayed response, I haven't had internet access for the last 2 weeks with the move up here. I'll give you a call rod thanks. We did meet the landlord in your restaurant Wayne, it went very smooth once we meet him face to face, he transferred the lease with no changes even showed us around town, we did buy a house and move up here, but everything else went sour.

Before we agreed to anything I asked about the staffing there, knowing that it is a issue here and was told the store was fully staffed with 15 employees, that is not the case at all, they have less people than the Surrey store and do more than twice the sales but that doesn't stop the new owner from trying to increase sales, the baker also quit when he heard about the ownership change and the new owner didn't even try talking to him until 2 weeks later, but it was to late, he's gone to FSJ. Then the new owner demanded that me and my wife work 12 - 18 hrs a day 7 days a week to cover the lack of help, and that my 9 year old daughter not go trick or treating Halloween night so that we can both work in the store all night, he fired me when I refused and offered the management job to my wife, but she had enough of his BS and quit. My wife did come back as a employee for a reasonable amount of hours, but only temporarily because my parents have invested some of their retirement savings in this venture.

I'm staying here and now looking for work, I don't think it will take long to find something suitable here.
