Brown's, Toronto's store for shorter men, set to close after nearly 90 years in business http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toron...e-after-nearly-90-years-in-business-1.4513256
My girlfriend who works in the area was talking about a really good sale there recently.. that would be why. Clearance sale.
The store used to be useful for me. I have size 14 feet and they'd usually have what I need, without having to go to an outlet mall. But it converted to an "clearance store" about a year ago and I found the selection much poorer. Shoes are now one of the few things I'll order online - though I would prefer going into a store and trying the feel before buying.
Urban Planet at Yonge and Shuter is closing. The space has so much potential, but hasn't been successful enough. Apple would be a good fit, but that's a dream.
A Penguin Pick-up is opening on Church south of Charles. This is a service that lets you pick up online purchases from a variety of retailers for free . They have many locations throughout the city. https://www.penguinpickup.com/
Upcountry's lease at 310 King St E has expired. I wonder what's next for this building? Amazing interior, if a bit leaky.
