Standing in his under-construction restaurant in the middle of the County Fair Mall, he joked that he’s been pregnant with the project and is “due to have a baby here in the next month or so.

“The opportunity came up for myself to build a business on my own,” says Heckkner. “So, I decided to step up and give it a try.”While working behind the scenes in preparation for getting his new shop up and running, Heckkner is discovering his entrepreneurial spirit. Kaley O’Brien, executive director of the Greater Summerside Chamber of Commerce, is excited to see a new restaurant opening in the city – especially one that brings new flavours to the area.

In mid-November, he flew out to meet her for a few days of training in her kitchen and finalizing the menu., Heckkner has seen heard tons of responses from people who are eager for the day the Taco Spot opens.
