Who

Our Name Stonewater: Solid/Fluid.

Our name and identity were developed as the result of a strategic process set out to capture our true brand character. The result was both simple and definitive. Our name says that we are a group of solid individuals with a sense of purpose who stay fluid and go with the flow in order to get to where we want to go.

Our Vision To be a top performing company that provides opportunities to our team and becomes a source of pride for our communities.

Our History In 1995, Bill & Kelly Ranford teamed up with Darren & Lindsey Flintoff to acquire the parent company of the MR MIKES chain. They repositioned the historic brand into a full-service, casual dining concept and renamed the parent company to Stonewater Group. They refurbished the franchises with open kitchens. They implemented a quality menu. And they gave the restaurant a unique ‘west coast’ personality and comfortable atmosphere complemented by a friendly, inviting bar they called “urbanLODGE”.

After the rejuvenation of MR MIKES and years of significantly out performing the competition, they decided to form an alliance with another company in 2006 to help grow the chain. Today, Stonewater is proud to be a top performer and key franchise-partner with RAMMP Hospitality in the growth of the MR MIKES brand. Currently we operate 14 locations, throughout Western Canada. With a sizeable portfolio of restaurants as our base and an agreement signed to build more units, we are well positioned for continued success in the years ahead.
