Description

In a nutshell:

With the opening of a new location of Nero Waffles, we are growing our team. Our newest location in South Granville will house the production area for all other locations of Nero Waffles. We will make fresh dough every day, batter, custards, fillings, glazes and more.

This new location, located at 2861 Granville Street, is still in the construction stage.

New hires in the production worker role will be trained at one of our existing locations (1002 Seymour Street) and will work at that location until the new location is ready to open.
