The new location for Burger 67 is now officially opened.
While the restaurant had actually opened in its new location at the corner of Murray St. and Dalhousie St., just west of its former Murray St. location, the official ribbon cutting was held last Tuesday afternoon.
The restaurant is now in the building that formerly housed the Lord Amherst pub.
Owner Dave Bshouty thanked those in attendance, which included members of Amherstburg town council and administration, “for making this day happen.” Other supporters and family members also stopped by.
“Our success is your success,” Bshouty told the crowd assembled outside the building. “Everyone has been very supportive of what we’ve done.”
May Bshouty said they quickly found a receptive customer base when they decided to open a restaurant in Amherstburg. The Windsor native said Dave, her nephew, was the one who originally came up with the idea. She said the people of Amherstburg have been very generous to them.
“We feel at home,” she said. “It’s our home now. We are happy to be part of Amherstburg.”
Mayor Michael Prue cut the ribbon and thanked everyone who has made Burger 67 a success to this point. He said the restaurant “was a success up the street” and predicted they will repeat that at their new location.
“You made a very wise business decision,” the mayor said.
Prue added more people are coming to Amherstburg to set up shop and thanked businesses like Burger 67 for having the faith to open up downtown. He called the downtown core “a destination” and that people are coming into the town to enjoy it. Amherstburg is “one of Canada’s great towns,” Prue added.
