Reggie’s Hot Grill
Steve and Carolyn Effer are making a name for themselves in the local fast food business.
The couple opened the Red Wagon Chip Truck last May on the Lakefield highway near Giant Tiger. And two weeks ago they became the proud new owners of Reggie’s Hot Grill in East City. They have quickly given Reggie’s a facelift with new fryers, a new venting system, a fresh coat of paint, and an expanded menu while keeping your Reggie’s favourites.
