MacKenzie River Pizza, Grill & Pub is beginning the construction of its second North Dakota location. The new location, 819 24 Avenue East in

West Fargo, will be the fourth location for franchisees Lance and Shoni Robinson.

MacKenzie River continues to appeal to guests nationwide as the restaurant chain grows with franchisee and corporate commitments to new store openings.

“We are excited about Lance and Shoni’s MacKenzie River Pizza, Grill & Pub. They are proven operators of our concept, and we are confident that this location will deliver a memorable experience for our guests in Fargo anchored by our spectacular food, service, hospitality and

mountain ambience,” said Brad Ridgeway, president of Glacier Restaurant Group.

“Shoni and I are thrilled to be opening a MacKenzie River here and know the community will love our scratch recipes and the fresh ingredients we use for our gourmet pizzas, juicy burgers, fish tacos and other offerings. We are also excited about our beverage offerings including specialty cocktails, craft beers and our exclusive Driftboat™ Amber Ale, brewed by Great Northern Brewing Company out of Whitefish, Montana,” said Lance Robinson, franchisee of MacKenzie River in Fargo, N.D.

The restaurant is planning on being open in the third quarter of 2018 and will employ 80 – 90 team members.
