New location
The new square one location (Mississauga) opens next Monday! It should certainly be a busy spot!

I have held Keg many years on and off. I have always thought they would have taken a stab at the US market. Sure, it's a competitive beast down there but the Keg is a great brand and I think could thrive.

The keg has a number of US locations. They've been in Arizona for at least a decade.

Sorry what I meant to say is they haven't really grown their US footprint much considering how large the market is.

It's very tough for chain restaurants to operate without a large enough footprint. Product sourcing, logistics, operations, it why Olive Garden couldn't survive despite being a popular brand here (and the red lobster support) Also, it would likely depend on finding the right franchisee willing to deploy the $4.0 million-ish per unit to build.
