It will not be any of the above. Wrong market segment for most of those, its not a luxury brand.
Its not them either.

The Pusateri's store at Bayview Village is temporarily closed, and its future looks uncertain:
streetsoftoronto.com
Excerpts from the article:
Just four months after closing their 20-year-old Yorkville spot, upscale Italian grocer Pusateri’s might be facing new troubles with its Bayview Village location now shuttered.
Though Pusateri’s has yet to comment, insiders tell Streets of Toronto that the place is now locked up tight. An Instagram comment on Pusateri’s most recent post also hints at trouble brewing:
“What happened to your Bayview Village store,” the comment reads. “I and other shoppers were shocked to see it closed and empty.”
“… Several factors [are] driving a shift in the retail landscape, which impacted this property,” Pusateri’s marketing head, Paolo Pusateri, told Grocery Business magazine about the Yorkville closing.
The plan, he said, was to zero in on their three remaining spots — Avenue Road, Bayview Village and Eaton Centre — while also launching a new 10,000-square-foot store in Little Italy this spring. But with radio silence on that new location for quite some time, the question now looms: Will this store ever see the light of day?
We contacted Bayview Village Guest Services to inquire about the status of Pusateri’s and were informed that they are currently unsure of its status.
“We are still trying to reach someone from Pusateri’s. “For the time being, the store is temporarily closed.”
The announcement of the Little Italy location was met with great excitement, marking Pusateri’s return to its roots. Originally slated to open in the summer of 2023, the fine food store has faced ongoing delays. Despite the high hopes and anticipation, the company has remained tight-lipped about the reasons for the more-than-a-year-overdue opening.
Toronto's original glam grocer seems to close doors on yet another location

That's good news! This is a company that price gouged hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes during the first COVID lockdown, until the media got hold of it, then they claimed the pricing was a "mistake" lol
Good riddance Pusateri's! You won't be missed!

I'm calling it now - their bizarre choice of a high end store on middle class College street in Little Italy will never open. Such a stupid choice.
