They've been there since 1850, but Perimeter has given them 2 months to vacate, and are apparently trying to force out all the other tenants as well (though coffee culture apparently has a 25 year lease, and won't leave unless bought out for what I'm told is $9m)
The 3 barbers are interested in the former open sesame space, as well as the former Carmellos's space next to Young condos
Not sure what Perimeter's plan is.
This being my barbershop as well, was a complete shocker to hear over the weekend. A real shame and a part of the downtown culture there that will be lost, unless they change their mind. Not sure what else could occupy that small space...
