The new Mr. Mike's in High River threw open their doors Friday, March 30, for a VIP night.

It was all hands on deck as local owner Mike Bliss had his entire staff on hand.

"We're ending up to 70-75 people at the moment. I'm hoping that we can keep everybody as we go forward. I mean as busy as we will be, that'll determine what we ultimately have. But for the first couple of months we're going to need everybody onboard."

Bliss says he has plans to hire more staff.

The restaurant officially opens for business Wednesday, April 4.
