A Legacy of Flavor at Alexandria’s Fast Food Restaurant Since 1944
Gaetan’s Chip Stand
home of the secret fry recipe, family‑run and community‑loved.
From Gaetan Verdun’s first “chip and coke” nights after the Garry Theatre opened across Main Street, to today’s fast‑moving mobile stand, we’ve been Alexandria’s go‑to for crave‑worthy fries, burgers, poutines, and hot dogs. Pull up a stool, wave hello to the “Mike’s,” and taste a piece of history—made fresh, just for you.
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.
