The Business Beat for the week of January 2
Stuart Harrison

As we kick off a new year of Business Beat columns, I wanted to circle back to two new restaurants that opened recently.
Agave by Imperial opened at the beginning of December at 376 George Street in Downtown Peterborough. The extensive menu features three full pages of traditional Mexican dishes, including vegan and gluten-free options, prepared in innovative ways, as well as a full-service bar, of course serving margaritas, tequilas, cocktails and more. Owners Jim Grover & Manish Choudhry also own the Imperial Tandoor on Lansdowne Street agavebyimperial.com

And the Loaded Pierogi opened in November at 1135 Lansdowne Street in the Parkway Plaza. The franchise restaurant offers a stunning variety of Pierogi’s, from BBQ Brisket to the Hardcore Herbivore, as well as mac and cheese and poutine. They also offer catering. Watch for a second location in East City sometime this year. Loadedpierogi.com

And speaking of restaurants, how about a tip of the hat to Peter and Anna Bouzinelos from the Pizza Factory, who recently announced that they will be closing after 42 years in business. Talk about a landmark and a legacy… Congratulations to everyone in the Pizza Factory family.
