There’s something fishy going on at the former Sammy’s Restaurant.
Gourmands in the valley may be pleasantly surprised to learn that Drumheller will now have a seafood option on their list when going out.
inSide Drumheller has learned that Joey’s Only is expanding to the valley and will be located where Sammy’s Restaurant currently sits. Renovations to the restaurant have already begun and they hope to open at the end of the month.
“We wanted to bring some new franchise to Drumheller,” said Kulwant Nijjar, who also operates Subway. “The burger shops are here and the pizza is here, we saw there was no seafood place. We talked to Joey’s about a franchise and they saw the site and were very interested.”
Joey’s Only, headquartered in Calgary, has been around for 25 years and is now Canada’s largest seafood restaurant chain. It has more than 100 franchises in North America. The restaurant offers a full menu of seafood. In 1999, it introduced Tennessee Jack’s, featuring rotisserie chicken and ribs on the menu.
Nijjar is excited for the new restaurant and has already begun training. He also adds fans of Sammy’s will not be disappointed as they have made arrangements to continue to offer the valley’s famous Sammy’s Burger on the menu.
