The downtown Acton restaurant recently extended its hours and will now be open from 5 a.m. un- til 8 p.m., Tuesday to Sunday. "We've had a lot of de- mand for dinner time, and now we're ready for extend- ed hours," said Kim. The local mainstay opened its doors in the core this summer, and has devel- oped quite the following for its breakfast fare. Those who stop by Whis- tle Stop during its new eve- ning hours can enjoy a vari- ety of menu offerings, in- cluding fish and chips, ham- burgers, sandwiches, salads, wings - and, of course, all-day breakfast that pairs with its $1.52 bot- tomless cups of Brazilian Canadian Coffee Co. java. The restaurant is now li- censed to serve alcohol as well. The local businessman opened his first Whistle Stop location in Rockwood 21 years ago after being laid off from a manufacturing com- pany where he was a manag- er. "I always dreamed of hav- ing my own business when I came to Canada 30 years ago," he said. "People started to come for the coffee, and they saw I had a small snack bar, so they tried my food." A few years later, busi- ness was booming, and Kim more than doubled the size of his Rockwood restaurant. Customers often encour- aged him to open a location in Acton, he noted. With the main floor space in the building he owns in downtown Acton sitting va- cant, Kim then had the per- fect location for his new ven- ture. Following some reno- vations, he was ready to open the diner and its sister business, Whistle Stop to Go - a retail store for takeout meals and snacks. "It has worked out very well," he said. "People really appreciate and like our new restaurant." FOOD AND DRINK Whistle Stop Diner owner Kevin Kim says the downtown Acton restaurant is now open until 8 p.m. for dinner service.
