Whoa, $45K, by my uneducated rough calc, that's a lot of leeway the landlord allowed them. Is that common practice? That mall seems busy enough that it should be a landlord's market and not the other way around.

Framing + Art is moving into the former location of Cool Style at the north end of Belmont Village.
No advance notice of closure was posted at Cool Style that I saw. It was a fairly quick transition between the two.

Gloss in Downtown Kitchener has its closing sale on now - the store will close after Bluesfest, unfortunately.

Papa John's closed up all Canadian operations at least a year ago, if I recall. I think an independent pizza place took over their space? Not sure.

Some interesting changes at Sunrise.

The empty Bulk Barn space is now yet another Dollarama.

Sunrise is looking a lot like the Boardwalk lately. Same ownership?

The Legacy Greens pop-up shop at 10 King St E is now open. Modest selection of fresh, mostly local fruit and veg, a few packaged foods. The owner, told me that still to come are a weekly fresh soup-in-a-jar (Wednesday's), frozen ices and ice-cream, and some local pasture-fed beef and pork. Pricing seems fair - I noticed "Elmira's Own" grape tomatoes at $3.49 per box, which is 50 cents below what a well-known central supermarket sells them for.
This is something that merits support, should you find yourself downtown during the week.

Maybe I can get some decent carrots instead of the monster ones sold by most supermarkets. But this is good news for the downtown-dwellers, to be sure. |
