Say goodbye to Kitsilano legends Moderne Burger and Benny’s Cafe.
At least in their current locations.
According to the Straight, the redevelopment of 2500 West Broadway means that a number of well-known businesses will either have to relocate or close down.
City of Vancouver’s city manager Jag Sandhu told the Georgia Straight that a development permit application for the site has been approved for a four-storey mixed commercial and residential building, with 21 dwelling units and three ground-level retail stores.
The impending project will affect four businesses: Aria Florist and Wedding Design, Benny’s Café , Moderne Burger, and Kinome Japanese Kitchen.
Originally known as Benny’s Bagels, Benny’s Café opened in the late 1980s and retro-style diner Moderne Burger has been operation for 17 years.

Where will it end? Small businesses targeted by Vision Party as things of the past. All we see now are vacant stores and more high-priced condos. Who will provide services for these residents when the businesses have all moved to Surrey? Vision is blind to the detriment of us all.
