Boston Pizza Opens

The newest restaurant in Fort Frances opens its doors to the public for the first time today.

Boston Pizza held official opening ceremonies Friday in which staff donated five-thousand dollars in tips earned during practice sessions to the Salvation Army and United Native Friendship Centre food banks.

Franchisee holder Dale Fortes is excited about finally opening.

"I'm feeling very excited," says Fortes. "It's just nice to finally get to this point in the process. We've enjoyed every minute of the process so far and look forwarding to opening our doors to Fort Frances and the immediate area."

A total of one-hundred people have been hired as servers, cooks and other position.
