What’s New About the TC?

Business is up at the TC and people are asking “what’s so NEW about this new TC”?

The Trans Canada Restaurant has been operating in Dryden for generations. So people have assumptions based on their past experiences, stories that have been told and our reputation in the community. Some people have not been in to visit us for years. So how would they know about the transformation that’s been happening at the TC?

We took over the TC a year ago … in fact, next week is our 1^st year anniversary as the new owners. So besides “US” as new owners, what’s changed at the TC over the past year?

For starters, we’ve spruced up the place with a new coat of paint, and some long needed repairs. Our atrium windows have been treated to keep the heat out and it’s made a huge difference in climate control. We’ve installed big screen TV’s with BUZZTIME trivia games.

But the biggest change goes way beyond paint and wall paper … we’ve put together a winning team … staff who know what customer delight is all about. They are focussed on giving you that little bit of WOW that turns our guests into raving fans. We’re building the best team in town.

We’re people friendly - and you know it as soon as you walk in the door,  it’s that home town feel that makes you welcome. We’re kid friendly with kids activities and our famous treasure chest. We’re senior friendly with a seniors menu, seniors discounts and a Saturday night seniors appreciation day. And we’re evening friendly with special after 7 selections.

Of course we have the new menu with great daily specials and we’ve notched up the food quality while keeping that home cooked philosophy that made the Trans Canada a favourite stop years ago.

We’re listening to what our guests are telling us and we’re responding – because we want the TC to be YOUR destination of choice for dining and accommodation excellence in Dryden.

After all, Tina was born and raised here, and we’re glad to be back in Dryden. We’re focussed on giving back to the community with initiatives like our scholarship program, Monday community appreciation nights, and our ongoing support for fundraisers and community groups. We live here, and support the local community as much as we can. We’re partnering with other local businesses in many ways.

So perhaps a better question is what hasn’t changed at the TC? In the past year we’ve covered a lot of ground … we’ve raised the bar - but we know we’re just getting started – we have tons more work to do. Our catering business is booming and people who stay in our rooms see the difference some TLC makes.

This next year will be an exciting time at the TC … we’re looking for great things to come! Stop by and be part of it - see for yourself where we are headed! Become a VIP guest, invite your friends and family to experience the new TC. It’s just like coming home.

Oh ... and by the way, stop by TUESDAY next week for our anniversary celebrations. There's a cake cutting at 2, $3 burgers all day long and 50 cent wings after 4. We have face painting, balloons, draws, give-aways and lots of cool stuff happening. Our VIP guests eat FREE any time next week - join us!
