Tom Kipp and business partner Mary Lou Keith own the Goderich franchise of Captain Cook's. Kipp said the 1700 square foot resturant's plaza. location - 30 Victoria Street North - is "excellent". Kipp said the resturant will have two sections: a 45 seat licensed dining room and a 37 seat family dining room. Kipp has been in the retail grocery business for 23 years. "The Captain Cook product is tremen- dous," he said, "and I really like what I see in Goderich in terms of the demand for such a resturant." Kipp said hopes initially to employ six. There will be parking space for 64 cars and full take-out capacity. "Our menu will not be exclusively seafood either," Kipp said, "there will be roast beef, hamburgers, and many other selections."
