From new restaurants opening their doors to old favourites making a comeback, there were some exciting new ribbon cuttings in Brampton this past year.

With the days ticking down to the start of a new year Insauga.com has put together a list of the biggest Brampton openings that made headlines in 2023. Here are the five biggest openings in Brampton this year:

Kinton Ramen

This much-anticipated opening happened in September when Toronto-based Kinton Ramen opened its first Brampton location at 2880 Queen St. E.

Kinton makes their ramen using pork bone stock, chicken stock, fish broth and vegetable broth, cooking the pork and chicken bones for over 20 hours for a strong, rich flavourful soup. The ramen specialists got their start decades ago and have since expanded with restaurants in the GTA, B.C., Chicago, Quebec and more.

Wibit Sports inflatable water park

A new inflatable water park with water slides, obstacle challenges was brought to Brampton over the summer.

The new attraction opened at Professor’s Lake in June with plenty of activities for kids, parents, and guests of all ages to enjoy. The park was run by Wibit Sports, which has set up inflatable water parks in over 100 countries.

Mayor Patrick Brown and Coun. Rowena Santos even stopped by to take in some inflatable fun and encouraged residents to check out the limited-time attraction.

Mr. Puffs

The popular Quebec franchise is mainly known for its puffs (also known as Loukoumades, a Greek-style donut hole) which are made on order and topped with sugary sweet toppings such as hazelnut chocolate, honey and strawberry glazes.

They also serve vegan-friendly options, including sugar and cinnamon, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry and apple cinnamon.
