[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 214561, member: 2217"] Little history of the Donut Mill and Gasoline Alley or as Spence calls it, "the Red Deer Mile". When I came to Red Deer, about the only thing in Gasoline Alley was Lou's Esso service station and coffee shop. Glenn Simon was the cook in the coffee shop/restaurant portion(owned by his dad Cy), of the Esso. Shortly after, the Esso was re-modelled and the restaurant was dropped. Glenn then borrowed money and built Glenns Family restaurant with his wife Jessie, and his daughter Cindy and her husband all working there. A true family establishment. Their staff tells a story of Glenns as well with one waitress having been there 37 years now. The young waiter and waitress kids have only been there about 18 years. lol...Just about all the Red Deer old timers and farmers still partake regularly at Glenns, although waiting in the lobby for a table is a regular occurrence now with many passer by's on the highway.. A few years later, he built the Donut Mill, and the Tea Pot next door for his daughter Cindy. Both also became extremely popular and a part of the family's success story. Glenn and his family are pretty well known and very well respected here and they have always been an integral part of Gasoline alley community association, which Glenn started many years ago. Whether a meal, donuts, or over 240 varieties of teas from all over the world, you can have it all at these three establishments. [/QUOTE]
