He owned the building anf the land so rent was not an issue for him. When he sold it the new owner neglected it. He let the young staff run the place and he was never there. It went down hill fast with that approach. We lived within a walking distance and used to go often, especially to the bike and car nights. But with the new owner and the service and quality going down the toilet we stopped going. I am pretty sure alot of people felt the same way an that is probably why they closed. I was excited to hear there was one in edmonton but ery dissapointed it was not the same 50s style resturant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218412971722429567.post-55828061678963090862013-02-16T08:31:06.070-08:002013-02-16T08:31:06.070-08:00Soad jerks in st albert is not open any more since...Soad jerks in st albert is not open any more since people did not frequent it in the winter. It was a blast from sping to fall but the lack of winter sales & high rent they lost money all winter & had to close. I know quite a few people that have tried the new place place & it is no where near the same & was dissatisfied with the lack of old school decor & the food.

Assuming I'm thinking of the right place, maybe this new location will catch on among the car guys who used to hang out at the old St. Albert location.<br /><br />Sounds like it's not really worth checking out, though.Adam Sniderhttp://adamsnider.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218412971722429567.post-21232609914868589422011-05-20T07:49:12.025-07:002011-05-20T07:49:12.025-07:00Buddha Pest--glad to know someone feels the same w...Buddha Pest--glad to know someone feels the same way. And you are quite right about the location. It is off to the side in an enormous parking lot, so the restaurant is probably overlooked most of the time.foodieMcPoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09533256269668969757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218412971722429567.post-49157016529451035772011-05-20T07:35:14.731-07:002011-05-20T07:35:14.731-07:00Anonymous reader--thank you for indicating the for...Anonymous reader--thank you for indicating the former occupants of this restaurant!foodieMcPoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09533256269668969757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218412971722429567.post-37108824879126558972011-05-19T23:59:41.497-07:002011-05-19T23:59:41.497-07:00I went there a couple of months ago and I pretty m...I went there a couple of months ago and I pretty much echo your thoughts on the food and ambience (or lackthereof).<br /><br />That location is a black hole for restaurants. I frequent some of the retail stores in that area, but it is a prime example of a poorly designed retail area (way too much parking space).Buddha Pestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218412971722429567.post-82648091698437251752011-05-18T14:00:28.441-07:002011-05-18T14:00:28.441-07:00The restaurants that occupied the space before Sod...The restaurants that occupied the space before Soda Jerks were East Side Mario's and more recently, Ric's Grill. It's not the greatest location, but I've been meaning to check it out. After reading this however, I may take a pass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
