Beat them by several years, both Pizza Hut and KFC set up in the Northern Store in Oxford House around 1995 or 96. When it first opened they were flying in 30,000 to 40,000 lbs of chicken a week, tapered off after about 2 months to about 5,000 lbs per week.

Tim Hortons coffee cups and donut boxes rolling around on the street will be a nice complement to the broken down snowmobiles and stray dogs...although a nice warm Timmies on court day is a step up from when I was there.

Yes there is one in YFB now. They are just kiosks at grocery stores, you can't acutally fly-in and park you airplane next to one, which is what I would have assumed the word fly-in to be. You could also sail in to YFB I suppose.

I was thinking the same thing after I read this (from the article)

"Getting affordable and nutritious food to the north is such an issue that Manitoba's government launched the Northern Healthy Foods Initiative to find ways to reduce the cost of health foods."

Yet they are hauling up doughnuts instead. :shock:

Somewhere near the end of 2010. I think they have 3 kiosks, one at Northmart the other two are at the convenience stores.
