Sturgeon Falls landmark has hit the half century mark, and there are so many fries to come
STURGEON FALLS — The RIV Chip Stand is a much loved destination in Sturgeon Falls, and over the years, too many people to count have found themselves at 235 Main Street laying down their favourite order. This year, the restaurant is celebrating 50 years of bringing the poutine to the people, and the 50th season started Thursday, March 9.
It was founded by Julien and Carmen Ferlatte in 1973. The Ferlattes ran the Riviera Restaurant which burned down that year, so they opened the Little Riv, named in honour of their first location. Eventually, the ‘little’ was lost, and the RIV still stands 50 years later in the same location the Ferlattes chose in ’73.
The anniversary “is also a testament to the previous owners,” Bruno said. “They did a great job, and we’re very conscious of the legacy of the RIV chip stand.” After all, generations have grown up with the RIV, “and we want to maintain that nostalgia, that tradition, and we work really hard to keep the RIV authentic” to its origins, Bruno said, and “very genuine to its roots,” Kate added.
