Regina, Canada – December 27, 2017 /PressCable/ —

This Boxing Day, dozens of shoppers in Regina lined up for hours waiting for stores to open despite the freezing cold weather warning administered by Environment Canada this week. While anecdotal reports suggested local businesses expected lower-than-average shopper turnouts due to the sub-zero temperature, boxing day business appeared to be as booming as ever.

According to Global News, despite the minus 41 degree (with windchill) weather, shoppers were lined up outside Best Buy as early as 5:40 in the morning, with doors not set to open until 6 am. Though the malls did not enjoy as much foot traffic as usual according to Global, shoppers were plenty happy to spend their money on Boxing Day deals at major big box and electronics stores.

Even family dining restaurants in Regina like MR MIKES SteakhouseCasual were packed during the lunch rush, a rarity for a Tuesday (and for Boxing Day at that). A local customer, Daniel Hawthorne, implied that the cold factored into his unplanned lunch stopover, noting that “it was necessary to escape the cold for a while. If that resulted in a great meal at MR MIKES Regina, all the better!”

While it was a rough year for Regina family dining restaurants due to the province of Saskatchewan seeing the highest inflation spike in all of Canada through 2017, as well as a rise in the cost of food as reported by CBC News, MR MIKES’ two Regina locations seemed to flourish regardless. Nowhere was this made more clear than in the full tables and slight wait during the lunchtime rush. Hungry and cold shoppers packed the place today, a scene demonstrative of the success MR MIKES SteakhouseCasual in Regina has enjoyed year-round. There is no doubt that franchisees will be looking to 2018 to match the banner year the brand enjoyed over the past twelve months.
