A large sign on the vacant lot on the corner of Bow St and Bankart St announces the coming arrival in Raglan of Wendy’s, the American the fast food giant. The property at 1 Bankart St was cleared a few years ago for a multi-storey development that never went ahead. Recently, local real estate agent L J Hooker has had the land for sale, but there have been no takers.
The sign says that Wendy’s will be coming soon and that it will be hiring managers sooner. A closer look reveals that is has been stuck over the original real estate and as this is April 1st, this is probably just an April Fool’s joke.
Other April Fool signs around Raglan announce the start of a campaign to put the ‘D’ back in Raglan. Perhaps the campaign will have some success as some people spell it that way from time to time.
