The year 1928 was a big one in human history: the first trans-pacific flight occurred, sliced bread was invented and, in Vancouver, B.C., restaurateur Nat Bailey opened the very first location of White Spot on June 16, 1928. It’s been 95 years since that beginning, and in that time, Canada’s longest-running restaurant chain has weathered a depression, recessions, global events, and a pandemic and remains a beloved family favourite throughout British Columbia.
To celebrate, a special limited-time-only 95th anniversary menu will be offered from June 5 to July 16, spotlighting the item that started it all: BBQ Chicken. Beef was in short supply when Nat opened that first drive-in on Vancouver’s Granville and 67th Avenue, so White Spot earned its first loyal fans by serving barbecued chicken. In a nod to its dynamic history, the special anniversary menu includes items like Crispy Fried Chicken, Half Rack Ribs & Crispy Chicken, a BBQ Chicken Sandwich, Crispy Fried Dills and, of course, the BC Chicken Burger with secret Triple “O” sauce.
To add to the festivities, the menu will also feature a Birthday Cake Shake, while kids’ Pirate Paks will offer a birthday cake shake or birthday cake sundae option. Happy birthday White Spot!
