Alcona's restaurant lineup is going to be stacked soon.
The popular eatery Stacked Pancake and Breakfast House plans to open a franchise at 1124 Innisfil Beach Rd., near the northeast corner of the IBR and Jans Boulevard intersection, sometime in early 2025. It'll be part of a larger four-building, mixed-use proposal for the site known as 1124, 1130, 1136 and 1154 Innisfil Beach Rd. that includes multiple commercial spaces and 160 residential condominium units.
Maps of the proposal in mid 2023 didn't mention Stacked but showed buildings within the site designated for Wendy's and KFC drive-thru locations.
According to the Stacked website, it operates more than 120 locations across Canada.
Locally, Stacked also has restaurants in Alliston, Angus, Barrie (Essa Road and Cundles Road East sites), Bradford, Midland, Newmarket, Orillia, Stroud and Wasaga Beach.
"No date has been finalized yet," Stacked Franchising marketing manager Pranaav Malotra told InnisfilToday. "Alcona is an upcoming region and the same owner owns the Stroud and Essa locations, so there won’t be an unhealthy competition there."
The Alcona property is currently a vacant lot. Malotra could not say when construction will begin.
However, town spokesperson Jane Cocking says the municipality has yet to issue a permit for the mixed-use building that will ultimately contain Stacked, and is currently "working with the property owner and applicant" to obtain it.
Stacked specializes in pancakes, waffles, omelettes, French toast and other breakfast staples, and it also offers a variety of lunch options including sandwiches, hamburgers and wraps.
"The menu would be similar to what we have in our other locations right now," Malotra said.
