What a lot of people don't know, is that there is not a large profit margin in the restaurant business.
Milton is not the best place to open a restaurant. Many ethnic people, who tend to eat at home, and no university students, who like to eat out often.
Funny comments like this keep being repeated... the fact our population is over 100,000 now should make it pretty easy to succeed since there really is no competition in town
Not sure which ethnic group you complain of, but places like Brampton & Scarborough have no problems with minority customers
The age groups (eg University kids) is a very minor difference according to StatsCan
People aged 18-34 were likely to eat at a restaurant twice a week. While those between 35-54 would eat out about 1.8 times. And those that were 55+ would eat out 1.5 times a week at a restaurant.
Thanks for taking my quote out of context...not unlike all of your past comments. You can quote all the stats you want. Everyone knows students spend on impulse and keep all the restaurants going. High school students go to fast food places, and university students make up about 25% of the business at dine in restaurants (very high percentage compared to population).
My parents are of ethnic decent. They rarely (if ever) went to restaurants. Ethnic people tend to be more frugal with their money. They grew up in an environment where they generally had to work harder for a dollar earned. (I'm taking about 1st generation immigrants into Canada - like my parents). Not the 2nd generation, urban Bramaltonian, I deserve a $100 000 job because I went to university and I've still never bought a Canadian flag in my entire lifetime population that you're talking about.
