The Trailer Park Boys have bought the Economy Shoe Shop and old Seahorse Tavern location in Halifax. Mike Smith, Robb Wells and John Paul Tremblay — who play Bubbles, Ricky and Julian — also have Brad Hartlin and show producer Gary Howsam in on it. Smith and Hartlin already owned the Toothy Moose and that is part of the transactions, to become an upscale lounge called The Lab.
