Mr. Mike's is a chain of steakhouses that began with a single restaurant that opened in 1960 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on Granville Street. Started by two brothers, Bob and Nick Constabaris, the restaurant aimed at providing a low cost dining experience for families. One aspect, somewhat unique at the time, was that the restaurant was self-serve. There is still one original Mr. Mikes in Kamloops, B.C.〔(Google Maps )〕 that offers a buffet, or salad bar as termed by the restaurant. Any others standing as of 2010 have been converted from 'steak houses' to 'bar and grill()'. The most popular item on the menu was the Mikeburger, which consisted of grilled steak served on a fresh French loaf with garlic butter and the secret Mike Sauce. ==Growth== The restaurant was quite successful and a chain was created. In 1970, the 50th Mr. Mike's Steakhouse franchise was opened, and during that year over 250,000 customers were served. By 1980, there were 69 Mr. Mike's restaurants in operation. This was the peak of operations. During the early 1980s, the economic downturn which particularly affected British Columbia forced the closing of several of the franchises. Still, by 1985, 49 restaurants were still in operation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mr. Mike's (restaurant)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
