The “leased” sign on the window of the former location of the Greens and Beans restaurant in Corners on Main on Main Street could just as easily say “alquilado” or “arrendado” because it appears that the community will soon be welcoming a new Mexican eatery. To which we at The Mainstreeter say, Olé!
Leasing agent David Cantor of Cantor Realty has confirmed that negotiations have successfully concluded with franchisees for barBURRITO, a Canadian-owned, Tex-Mex, fast casual restaurant with multiple locations in Ottawa, Kanata, Orleans and Gatineau, to open a new location at 137 Main Street.
