Yes I believe it's going beside Kullbergs on 18th street where "the little shoppe" currently resides, and I think there's a salad place going there as well called chopped.

To answer your question, no there is not a Mary Browns in Brandon. There has been lots of talk about it and where it is going but nothing official.

blitzd has it right: Mary Brown's is supposed to be going into where The Little Shoppe is and Chopped Leaf is going in beside. Naturally, nothing is written in stone, but Chopped Leaf has a coming soon to Brandon notice on their website.

yes it is coming, but no offical statement. There was an official announcement on bdnmb.ca... however, the link has since been removed.

I, for one, before this didn't know:
1. What Mary Brown's was
2. That there were coming to Brandon
3. What they serve
4. Where they're going.

Now I do.

I have heard Tyler giving out free gift cards or whatever they are for this restaurant in the mornings on Starfm a few times recently and I thought the same thing to myself “where is this place now as I haven’t seen it anywhere so how can they give out free stuff for it?”

Confusing...
2/13/2018 at 7:38 PM

In the recent Kam Lung thread, someone stated that Chopped Leaf was definitely going into the former Krevco building on 18th. Anyone have any links/sources they can share that will tell us where all these new restaurants are for certain going to be located?

As for The Little Shoppe, all I have heard is that as of last weekend they are closed and will be relocating and reopening in the spring. To my knowledge, no new location has been made public.

Have heard it advertise on Star Fm and the morning show was giving away gift cards for Mary Browns, but when googled couldn’t find where.

Maybe Adam can get into contact with bdnmb.ca and find out why that link is not active on their website...

I have an email in with Star, who I’d consider to be the best shot at facts if they’re running a promo. Possible they’re sworn to secrecy by a client but no harm in asking

Krevco

I believe it is Freshii going in Krevco, and Mary Browns & Chopped Leaf going into what used to be Little Shoppe. Little Shoppe is reopening within Kullbergs in May.

Between the mall restaurants, new pizza and all of these places my head's spinning (and stomach is growling ). These new restaurant threads tend to run together a little bit, but if it helps bring a little bit of clarity the e:mbed below is what Freshii has shared about their location in Brandon (part of the prev Blockbuster):

Re Mary Browns, I shot them off a message and they aren’t able to confirm anything at this time at the franchise level. I heard part of the ad on Star myself this morning and believe I heard a reference to a promotion that ends on March 18 (maybe someone that’s heard it in full could say more). Hard time believing we'd have someone opening before then, maybe its just a franchise trying their best to get a jump on getting their name out there before Swiss Chalet opens their doors?

Just to keep things on-topic it might be best to start a separate thread re these guys so that this particular thread can be on the topic of Mary Browns. thanks!
