A health Management Group™ Company “The Casey’s today is different than the Casey’s it was in 1980. We’ve been able to evolve and re-invent the brand. While we believe the brand is stronger than ever, it still contains a lot of the culture and qualities that originated in the Casey’s in the Sudbury marketplace.” The only Pat and Mario’s restaurant still operating is in Sudbury. The owners of the Pat and Mario’s franchise, as well as the Sudbury Casey’s franchise, are Junior and Leslie Moutsatsos. In 1981, the Sudbury couple opened a Casey’s franchise in Elliot Lake, but moved back home in 1984 to open a Pat and Mario’s on Lasalle Blvd. They bought the Casey’s on The Kingsway in 2005, and now employ 150 people in the city. “I like to say that Casey’s is uniquely Sudburian and proudly Canadian. We gave birth to it here in Sudbury, and it’s ours. We might as well claim it,” said Leslie. The couple said their goal is to provide the best customer service. They also feel strongly about treating their employees right. “We have some awesome, awesome people working for us. I’ve had some people working for us longer than our kids have been alive,” said Junior. “That’s a big motivation for us to go to work every day. It’s just like going to see our kids.” Casey’s most popular food is its ribs, “which are slow baked, ﬁnished on the grill, and laced with the restaurant’s own blend of barbecue sauce,” said Leslie. Pat and Mario’s is known for its pasta dishes with homemade sauces, as well as its Caesar salad. Perpick said the Moutsatsos family are “model franchisees” because of their strong commitment to the restaurant business and the Sudbury community. “When you’re dealing with a franchise system, you ask people to be entrepreneurs,” he said. “Junior and Leslie have totally dedicated themselves to the experience of their guests in the restaurants.” There are two East Side Mario’s locations in Sudbury, but they are not owned by the Moutsatsos family. Prime Restaurants of Canada is in the midst of a redesign and rebranding of East Side Mario’s. The restaurant is adding new menu items, and its “Lifestyle with Style” section—a selection of salads, pasta and pizza dishes, will list the calorie, fat and sodium content of each. The Statue of Liberty will also disappear from the redesigned logo, which will now just features the “authentic and fresh Italian ingredient”—a tomato.
