A local business owner has stepped in to keep Killaloe’s BeaverTails outlet alive – with a little help from the company’s founder.
Dave Virk, whose family owns and operates the Freshmart supermarket in the town about 160 kilometres west of Ottawa, has purchased the deep-fried snack franchise from previous owners Brent and Linda Bistrisky.
Financial details of the transaction, which was announced this week, were not disclosed. BeaverTails Ottawa, which is owned by company founders Grant and Pam Hooker, provided additional financing for the deal.
The Hookers have a special connection to Killaloe – they’ve lived in the area for nearly 50 years and still reside in the same homestead they built on 100 acres of land south of town in 1976. Their attachment to the Renfrew County community runs so deep they named one of the most popular BeaverTail flavours – Killaloe Sunrise – after their adopted hometown.
