Rooted in History, Fired by Passion

In 1944, Gaetan Verdun parked his humble chip stand on Main Street and quickly became the town’s Friday‑night ritual: movie at the Garry Theatre, then “chip and coke” under the glow of his smile. After Gaetan’s passing, his daughter Hélène and her husband Claude Levac kept the fry dreams alive—bringing lunch to the Carnation Plant by day and supper back downtown by night.
