Prince Rupert City Council will be delving into the task of realty management in a few weeks, with the City currently noting of a proposed license to occupy for Bob's On the Rocks, with a five year term under consideration at the familiar site at the head of the Rushbrook Trail.

The Notice, published in the back pages of the weekly newspaper outlines the nature of the five year term and the leasing rate under consideration.

The City of Prince Rupert is considering a lease for 
Bob's on the Rocks in the Rushbrook Improvement Area

The famous fish and chips eatery is now part of the growing Gitmaxmak'ay Group's business collective, with the local Nisga'a group purchasing it last year as part of their ongoing expansion of business interests.


It will also make for the latest leasing of land between the two organizations, with the Society having leased land adjacent to the Rupert Lawn and Garden Centre in the Seal Cove area two years ago as part of their expansion of that site.

The growing portfolio of business has come with Blair Mirau serving as the Chief Executive Officer for the Gitmaxamak'ay Society, he has been at the helm for much of this expansion period for the Society's Group of business ventures.

Mr. Mirau also serves as a current member of Prince Rupert City Council. 

Bob's on the Rocks is also within eyesight of one of the other City of Prince Rupert commercial holdings, that of the Canadian Fish Warehouse space at Rushbrook which they began leasing out in 2020.
