A BUILDING in the heart of Surfers Paradise that’s housed restaurants for more than 50 years is poised to host a business called Big Willy.

The building’s owned by Ted Fong, who ran the Springfield Chinese restaurant in it for 30 or so years before leasing it out to other restaurateurs until 2018.
