Accent Inn to open ABC Restaurant
By Darron Kloster, Times Colonist
ABC Country Restaurant will open its second location in Victoria on April 1 in the Accent Inn, taking the space formerly occupied by Brannigans. Victoriabased Accent confirmed that Ravinder Parhar, who operates the ABC at 2900 Douglas St., has been extensively renovating the restaurant at its hotel on Maple Street, just off Blanshard. It will be the fourth location on the Island -there are two in Nanaimo -and 30th for the Surrey based ABC chain.
Accent Inns business development manager John Espley said the company is already associated with ABC Country Restaurants at its Kelowna and Burnaby hotels. Morgana Braceraven will manage the new location for ABC. Brannigans closed in early January, citing a diminishing customer base because of the HST, and consolidated at its Cedar Hill location.

A Blooming Beautiful Idea!
abc Country has always practised good corporate citizenship, being responsive to the needs of the communities its restaurants serve, and as a brand in the company’s wider geography. Over the years, our charity of principal choice has been support of research to find a cure for juvenile diabetes.
Through events in our restaurants, and the generosity of our franchisees and customers, other charities have also benefitted. Individual franchisees choose to support a variety of events—from supplying food and funds to sports teams, to making our restaurants available for meetings and celebrations that benefit others.

In British Columbia this year, we were pleased to support the Canadian Cancer Society's Daffodil Day program, and we’re proud to say it was a huge success.
To everyone who wore a daffodil or participated in the program in any way, thank you from abc Country Restaurants.

In mid June abc Country restaurants in White Rock and Cloverdale proudly supported “Survivor Tents” for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. The White Rock event was at Centennial Park on June 11 and Cloverdale at the community’s Millennium Amphitheatre on June 12. Meals at both locations were greatly appreciated.
