Merchant's Seafood & Chop House closes

Posted by Sarah King on Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 4:00 AM

After just three months of business, Merchant's Seafood & Chop House (1580 Argyle) has closed. The restaurant opened in August and shut down about a month ago due to, according to a former employee, a lack of business and just plain bad luck. She said Merchants failed to rake in many customers on the tough market of Argyle Street. A bartender at neighbouring establishment Bitter End reiterates; "It's a tough time of year to open a business." There are rumours that a big-name restaurant will be moving in to the Merchant's old spot, but no word on who just yet.

Do you agree with Halifax's school board cutting 152 teachers?

  • Yes, the board needs to meet its shrinking budget.
  • Only if managers and bureaucracy get a similar cut.
  • I don't care, I support the private education system.
  • No, giving young citizens the best education is too important to cut.
