Ricky’s All Day Grill Expands Hotel Partner Program
Ricky’s All Day Grill has opened a location in Creston, British Columbia adjacent to a new Ramada Inn. The new opening is part of Ricky’s Hotel Partner Program, a company initiative to expand with franchisees who also own hotels.

“We are pleased that Ricky’s All Day Grill has been accepted as an excellent partner for hotels, and pride ourselves on the level of support we provide to our franchisees who are also hoteliers,” says Stacey Hansson, Vice President of Operations for Ricky’s All Day Grill. “Among the benefits our tried and true chain can offer is a level of food and beverage expertise that hotel management may not necessarily have. We can also accommodate small menu adjustments and offer longer hours, all depending upon the hotel’s needs.”
