About Wimpys Diner

Wimpy's Diner is a full menu Diner Style Restaurant chain with a nostalgic 50's and 60's atmosphere, serving Famous Burgers, Home style breakfast, Lunch, Dinner specials and other generously portioned entrees. Due to great public interest, the projected mark for the total number of stores in Southern Ontario was already surpassed by early 1997, thus creating the "WIMPY'S" trademark, which was issued in January of the same year. Wimpy's Diner Inc. is the licensing company for Wimpy's Diner chain.

About Black Rock Bar & Grill

"Black
It all started on October 27th, 2010, in Hartland, Michigan, a small town in a very tightly-bonded community.   Black Rock Bar & Grill opened its doors and brought with it a dining experience unlike any other. By pairing family recipes, a 755-degree volcanic stone, and a love for food, the Morganroth family knew they were a perfect fit for the restaurant industry; however, they had no prior restaurant experience, working only off their dream of what Black Rock could become.
