Wendy’s has unveiled a new restaurant design prototype, and it’s coming to Kingston next month. A Wendy’s restaurant in Etobicoke is the first of the company’s four new restaurant designs that are currently being tested, and is the first Canadian concept store. The Kingston concept store is scheduled to open in December 2011, and is located at 17 Warne Crescent.
In addition to a modern, new, restaurant design and layout, the unit will also serve Redhead Roasters proprietary blend coffee and fresh baked goods including oatmeal bars, cookies, muffins and brownies. Also to be tested there are new service staff uniforms, new digital menu boards, and redesigned product packaging.
The new restaurant concept has been ‘in the works’ for the past three years, and is designed to deliver more open space, brighter dining rooms with bigger windows and a variety of seating options from booths to high tops to cozy chairs around a fireplace. The new concept is also equipped with free WiFi. Customers will be able to view baking and prep areas, reinforcing Wendy’s “food story.” The restaurant’s modern design will be complemented with natural colors, brick and wood materials and a bold use of red. A bright red center wall will celebrate Wendy’s heritage with a quote from the late founder Dave Thomas, “Quality is our recipe.”

Canada Post today issued four new stamps for the holiday season, including a three-part set featuring historic stained-glass windows of the Cathedral of Saint-Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Kingston, Ontario.
The stained-glass windows in the century-and-a half old Cathedral were originally imported from England. Over the years, several installation projects, additions and changes have been undertaken, including a complete restoration of the windows that began in 1993, and used many of the same methods employed over the past thousand years.
All three Stained Glass stamps (Permanent domestic, U.S. and International) measure 24 mm x 32 mm (vertical) with simulated perforations and pressure sensitive gum and are printed by Lowe-Martin on Tullis Russell paper using lithography in seven colours plus spot varnish. The Permanent domestic stamps are available in booklets of 12 stamps and the U.S. and International each in booklets of six. A souvenir sheet of all three stamps is also available. The Official First Day Cover will be cancelled in Kingston, Ontario. The Christmas Holly PERMANENT stamp measures 24 mm x 24 mm (square). Printed by Lowe-Martin on Tullis Russell paper using lithography in five colours plus varnish and pressure sensitive gum. The Official First Day Cover will be cancelled in Greenwood, British Columbia. The stamps are available in booklets of 12 stamps.
