Yep sure do. That was awhile ago.

Supposedly Peters brother. Last one shut it's doors in the early nineties.
There was a place up around 20th ave and 19th st nw called Big Dicks. Awesome burgers. run by an Aussie dude who'd toss a shot of rum in your coke around Christmas time if you were a regular.

Could have been, I think they started up around the same time but Bobs was down in the south end.

Just read Peters history on their web site. Looks like brother Bob story was just one of those ones that my Dad made up.

I was gonna say Bob should have took the north location and Gus the south. Burned some gas over the years driving north for a lunchtime burger. Lol.

No chit, I remember being an apprentice on the ShellCourt building construction getting sent to Peters to pick up 25 double cheeseburgers and fries for our crew for Friday lunch. PITA trying to juggle 20 shakes driving a standard tempo down Centre street.

hahahaha. that is horrible stuff! That strike is how Kokanee beer got their big break as they were close to the Alberta border. I remember guys from Alberta would come to my dad's restaurant in Golden asking to buy cases from him.
