The structure that housed a well-known Cape Breton business was torn down in New Waterford on Monday. The building, located at 438 Eighth St., was the location for Fat Boys Pizza, a staple in the community many years. Last January, a fire caused significant damage to the building, forcing the closure of the pizza shop. There were no injuries reported in the fire. The building, who at the time of the fire, was owned by Glenda Corbett, however she did not own the franchise. The pizza shop has not reopened at another location as of publication time. Along with Fat Boys, the building also once housed Kanne’s Hairstyling for Men, but that business had been closed well before the fire.
