Business in Winkler's North end is rapidly expanding.

The newest addition is a 6,000 sq. ft. full service restaurant with outdoor patio.

Construction on Mr. Mike's Steakhouse Casual began this week. Depending on weather, spokesperson of the ownership group Kevin Braun says they hope to be ready to open this summer.

"We're definitely seeing a lot of growth on the North West corner of Winkler," he says. "To be part of that is pretty exciting."

He notes many are looking forward to another dining option in the city.

"I've heard a lot of positive comments about Mr. Mikes coming to town, so we're very excited," he says.

So far, Braun says they are on track for an August opening.

Taco Time is expected to be open in the coming weeks. The business is adjacent to the Petro-Can at the corner of 15th Street and Gemstone Drive
