Excitement Sweeps Toronto as Blue Jays Fans Flock to Restaurants
With the Toronto Blue Jays making waves in the playoffs, the city’s restaurants are experiencing a surge in business as passionate fans gather to support the team.
One hotspot, Hunters Landing in CityPlace, has seen a remarkable uptick in sales, with a nearly 100% increase compared to last year. Fintan Caulfield, the bar manager, expressed his amazement at the bustling crowds and vibrant atmosphere that has enveloped the establishment.
Even after the games conclude, patrons are lingering to soak in the lively ambiance, especially with the pleasant October weather keeping the outdoor patios bustling.
Over at The Rec Room, located near the Rogers Centre, a similar trend is observed, with a significant influx of both local and out-of-town supporters joining in the excitement.
Prepared for the surge in visitors, the staff at The Rec Room have been proactive in accommodating the influx, ensuring a seamless experience for Jays fans to gather and enjoy the games.
This boost in business is a welcome reprieve for the restaurant industry, which has faced challenges in recent years due to economic factors. The President & CEO of Restaurants Canada, Kelly Higginson, highlighted the positive impact of the baseball fever on bringing people together and revitalizing the dining scene nationwide.
