BRINGING
HOME
THE
BACON
Winnipeg-based milliner Crown Cap has been
keeping heads warm and fashionable with its iconic
hunters' cap since 1934. Originally a textile headwear
manufacturer for the farming trade, today Crown Cap
ships two million hats around the globe every year.
They have a showroom in New York City, are stocked
at Macy's, Lord and Taylor and Bloomingdales, and
have created a line for Polo Ralph Lauren among other
top-name brands.
In 1931, Ralph Erwin opened the first
restaurant to sell burgers in Manitoba. Not
liking the name "hamburger," he named
his a "Nip." More than 75 years later,
Salisbury House ("Sals" as it is known
locally) is again Winnipeg owned by a
group of business partners that includes
rock legend Burton Cummings.
Barley Brothers' noble
mission is to bring craft beer to
Winnipeg, and they overshot
their goal by quite a bit. Their
Stadium location features the
most taps in Canada, with over
150 different beers from both
local and international brands.
Cheers
to
that!
