| Overview: |
"You can get anything you want at – Alice’s Restaurant.” Well - perhaps not anything, and certainly not Arlo Guthrie, but Alice has been serving excellent meals for over nine years there and is well known for her kitchen and hospitality. Good Will in the name is significant, and anyone coming in to take over this establishment will have a wonderful base on which to build. Virtually in the middle between Port Hawkesbury and Baddeck, on the Trans Canada, and the first serious restaurant before the other side of the Seal Island Bridge, this is a valuable franchise serving hungry travelers and locals.
