BUY BUILDING FOR RESTAURANT
[Welland Tribune January 28, 1947]
Proprietors of the Majestic Grill East Main street, have purchased the building occupied by Loblaws Groceteria Limited, situated on the south side of East Main street. The former owner was Mrs. Blake Booth of Aqueduct street. Loblaws Groceteria Ltd. will later this year move to new quarters on East Main street.
The manager, Chris Dimitroff, would not reveal the purchase price but he told the Tribune that renovations and the work of re-fashioning the former groceteria into what he stated would be one of the most modern and up to date restaurants in this part of the Niagara peninsula would cost between $20,000 and $25,000. He was unable to state when the work would be completed because of the uncertain state of building operations. The new restaurant, he said, would seat approximately 100 persons at a time. And the upper floor will be devoted to catering to wedding and other parties and groups. It is the intention to maintain the present grill on the north side of the street.
The owners of the Majestic Grill are Chris Dimitroff, William Tallis and Harry Lombro, and it is expected that John Tallis also of Welland will become a fourth partner within the next few months.
The present owners purchased the goodwill of the present restaurant from G. Gettas in 1937, and the name of the establishment was then changed from “The Appolo Restaurant” to “Majestic Grill.”
