A Victoria restauranteur says he’s got big shoes to fill as he expands his diner chain to Brentwood Bay, opening his fourth location at the former Sassy’s Restaurant.
“It’s going to be a new Floyd’s,” Petr Prusa, the chain’s owner and founder, said in an interview with CHEK News.
And, of course, if it isn’t painted pink, it’s not a Floyd’s.
As reno crews keep busy, Prusa says passersby may now notice the pop of colour called ‘Heartbreak Pink’ when commuting West Saanich Road.
“Right now, they’re doing a bunch of work in the kitchen and just some light housekeeping in the front and getting things sort of ‘Floydalized,’ I guess is the word,” he said with a laugh.

Prusa says the new Floyd’s should open by November if everything goes to plan.

The shocking pink is a dead giveaway: Floyd’s Diner is coming to Brentwood Bay.
Petr Prusa, who owns and operates three of the breakfast-and-lunch restaurants in the capital region — all of them painted bright pink — will open a fourth in early November in the former Sassy’s Restaurant on the high-profile corner of West Saanich Road, Keating X Road and Benvenuto Avenue.
The pink “is kind of our identity,” Prusa said Wednesday. “One customer asked me if it has anything to do with Pink Floyd, but no it doesn’t.”
It was the colour of Prusa’s first Floyd’s downtown. The pink — along with nostalgic murals of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis or Charlie Chaplin — just seemed to stick. Prusa also has Floyd’s Diners in Royal Oak, James Bay and Langford.
Prusa said he signed a five-year lease with the land owner for the 110-seat restaurant in Brentwood, though redevelopment plans for the site are being considered.
The most recent proposal to Central Saanich council includes a mix of apartments, short-term rentals, food and retail for the site.
If redevelopment plans proceed, there are options in the lease to continue operating as initial phases are built, Prusa said.

The “community icon” has long been eyed for redevelopment, Windsor said.
A hotel and convention centre were proposed for the site in 2004, while the most recent rezoning application calls for residential and commercial mixed-use buildings.
It was submitted in 2021 and reached its third reading at the Central Saanich council last month.
Speeding right along. :wave:
