- my dad was the manager there back in the day I also worked in the skillet as a kid on Saturdays doing dishes and making breakfast
- I truly miss that kitchen! it was so well equipped and huge!
- yes it was the layout was well made for it in its day
- was your dad managing the store around 1983?
- My dad actually was the first manager that opened the store back in 1971 and worked there till 1977 then moved on to a store in Mississauga then to nova Scotia
- I remember my dad meeting uncles for coffee at the restaurant while my mom and aunts shopped

- it was referred to as the "Killet" by the gang in the 80s that worked there.
- I remember when they built zellers
- Rember H&H video in the ally with Schipper fish&chips

- "I'm walking up to the plaza"
- In the ‘60’s I had part time jobs at Beamish’s and Helliwell’s Hardware for 50 cents an hour.

- Wanna go to the Skillet??
- They use to have a fair in the parking lot,where Frank betters use to be
- Frank vetears(something like that)
- Frank Vetere's. Used to have a glass from there (you got them to take home sometimes for whatever reason). Best pizza ever!
- That said, that's not entirely correct. If my dusty memory serves, Frank Vetere's was where what is now Pizza Hut. The fair was definitely set up in the parking lot well to the west of there, above the "hill" in the parking lot that is there in front of Zellers/Walmart.
- franks had the best pie ever also playing pac man on the table top having a draft when we were way too young lol and also garlic bread
- Pizza hut has been gone for year
- So have I :)
