irishfield Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Any that liked slipping in for lunch while out fishing (or flying) you're out of luck this year! Letter to Our Customers May 16, 2017To all our valued Customers, Friends, and AssociatesIt is with great regret that due to circumstances beyond our control Henry's in SANS SOUCI will not be opening this season. Henry's South @ Wye Heritage Marina is operating as usual.There is an extreme shortage of qualified personnel in the Restaurant Industry and compounded to this difficulty is the seasonality and unique island location of our Sans Souci restaurant.Any questions or concerns please email [email protected] Edited January 1, 2018 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 saw that on FB too. unfortunate, only positive i can think of is that channel can be a zoo sometimes with lots of boat traffic. i imagine this will reduce that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 So basically they couldn't find anyone to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 That's the "line" they're using anyhow Bill ! Guess there's no more cottage kids up there that are close enough to boat over to FPIsland to work, that parents aren't just handing money to..... instead of them getting out and earning their own money!

Cast-Away Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 What a shame, I always took at least one trip out there. Maybe it is for health reasons or he lost money last year and planning to do something else with the land. Thanks for posting Wayne, I would hate to boat all the way there to find out it is closed like I did in September two years ago not knowing they close after Labour Day.

Canuck Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Great news. We all need to stop there if in the area and spend a few bucks. That is a Georgian Bay heritage site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 So goes the fate of most Mom and Pop businesses. Costs are skyrocketing in all aspects of running a business from administration costs to labour and price increases won't be tolerated by customers. No one is going to pay double for the same cheeseburger that they paid for last year. With a 15 buck minimum wage soon many more businesses just hanging on will be gone too. Here is your $15.00 wage retail and fast food worker, good luck finding a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted January 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 The lastest on Henrys !! Sounds like you'll be able to get your Pickerel fix this summer !!! Message from John Cooper regarding Henrys Restaurant in San Souci: Friends, I had a call from Paul Elliot this morning, from Florida, to tell of the sale of Henrys to a mid 40’s couple who have restaurant experience, The gentleman is also an experienced carpenter! Their children are in their late teens, in school, and will be participating. These folks are from the area. Paul said that they are high energy, aggressive and very likeable, and have great plans to expand their o...fferings. Paul said that final details are being put in place and as soon as the ink is dry, he will let us know, so we can help to generate much enthusiasm, and encouragement for the new folks. Paul said he will be there to help out, introduce them to their customers and familiarize them with all systems, etc. Paul has been pushed by all the commercial dependents, GBA, the Chippewa Cruise boat, water taxi operators, etc., as they need to prepare their marketing plans for the coming summer. He has now notified all, so they can move forward with their preparation! More to come! Cheers! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepjigging Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Henry's is on my bucket list. This development screams: Do it now. Tomorrow might never come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 The new owner must be either A) insane or B, insanely loaded. At least he won't have to pay his kids minimum wage. He might not be able to afford them. But it sounds like good news for you guys up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
