All you can eat Chinese Food Buffet prepared by a Chinese cook 4pm to 8 pm every Friday to Sunday night. Hamburgers and Milkshakes, and sitting in the booths after school.
This matchbook was a give away from the Olympia Restaurant in Carleton Place. Located at 101 Bridge Street, the restaurant, with its booths, curved counter and red leather stools, was a local institution. First opened by Louis and James Laskaris as the Olympic Candy Store in 1920, it was later sold to Jim Antonakos in 1958.
A fire destroyed the building in 1960, but it was rebuilt and opened again in 1961.
The Olympia closed it’s doors for good in 2000 and is still greatly missed.
