TERRACE STANDARD

A LOCAL logging contrac-
tor is set to take a giant step «
into the: hospitality industry.
‘Lloyd Hull’ and-his wife ©
Lana‘ are in the process of
purchasing :: ‘the: Pizza Hut .
franchise in’. Terrace from |
the Critchley family.
‘Hull Says he. and his

wife are in the midst of a

franchise - training’ program
which must be completed as
a condition of the transfer of
. the franchise license. .

.. “We have to be approved -—

by. head Office and that ap- >

proval . ‘doesn’t. come until

we are. ‘fully trained,” Lloyd |

_. Hull said, adding he expects
-that to be complete by mid-—
August.

Hull also confirmed there -. .

‘is truth. to the rumour that
he and Lana are considering ©
-moving the restaurant. to a:
new location once the trans-
_action is complete.

“The place we have is
-good, but. it’s not ours, I
would prefer our own build-
ing,” Hull says of the. exist-
ing Pizza Hut location.

“ “We're. looking . ‘at six
“sites,” Hull said last week.
“Three of them within steps |

of where we are at and others |

are at different locations.”
~ Hull expects. he -would
‘have.to purchase new prop-
_ erty if one of those six loca-
. tions does work out.
And if the Hulls opt to

_ keep the restaurant.in the

” existing location on Lazelle
‘Ave.,. Major "renovations
_ would be in order-as a con-
dition of the sale.

Hull says ‘he’s looking
forward to the new venture,

_ which ‘will largely be man-

aged by.Lana Bull.

“This. ‘our. first. venture.
into ‘the food industry other
than logging camps — we ..
have fed huge amounts of °
people but only in camp set-

' tings,” he said.

“Once we get the training
and get the official stamp of
approval we’re looking for-
ward to selling pizzas.”

Caravan:
venue |
pushed -

MIGHTY MOE has renewed
“his plea to city council to es-
tablish a downtown location
for organized motorhome
caravan tours. '
- In a recent presentation
- to city council Moe asked
it to consider their, tourism
potential. ,
‘He has for many years
-been a proponent of us-
ing the farmer's market lot
venue, arguing that people
who park their motorhomes
downtown are more apt to
spend money here.

“Right here in downtown

everything is in walking dis-
. tance,” Moe said.

Councillors . considered
referring Moe to either the
Terrace Tourism Society or .
the Terrace Economic De-
velopment. Authority but
decided it was time for city.
staff to deal with Moe’s rec-
ommendation.

“{ think what Moe’s
frustration has been is that
everyone sends him some-
where . else,” said Mayor
Jack Talstra.

“He keeps coming to the |
city and he keeps getting
pushed off somewhere else
‘and the buck’s got to stop

' here,” said councillor Carol
Leclerc.
Council will have city
staff contact some of the
caravan tour groups to find
out if they are interested i in
the plan.
