August 14, 2018 - Colin Gowdy, Blackburn News SarniaA state-of-the-art development at the foot of Main St. in Grand Bend is almost complete.The three-storey structure, located just before the beach, is home to a new restaurant, and eventually will house seven residential units.The Main St. Burger Co. and Willie�s Beach Bar opened their doors in early June.Manager Bill Thomson says business at the daytime family restaurant and night time bar has been booming this summer.�Our weekends are really busy. We have a live DJ every weekend and we�ve started a couple of things during the week,� he says. �We also have a couple of games out for the kids [during the day], so it�s a good spot for parents to relax and have a cold beverage.�Thomson says the condos located above the restaurant are probably going to be complete for September and be up for sale in October.�The front three residences are two-storey, 2,000 sq ft., and three bedrooms. The back four are two bedroom, and a little smaller, but still really nice.�The owner of the development, Sam Karamoutzos, also owns the Growling Gator on the other side of Main St.
