Taco Farm has announced it's closing Dec 31st. https://tacofarm.ca

Does this mean the only Fat Sparrow owned location is the former Stone Crock?

Went for a walk in DTK this morning and saw a few permits and signs for new restaurants and shops: 

- 345 King St. Unit 102 (Gowling Office): a restaurant called Soi Thai Foon
- 1 Queen St. Unit 103 (back of Tim Horton's building): Coop Wicked Chicken
- 1 Queen St. (where Capers used to be): Chronicles Cannabis
- 101 Park St. (across from Bramm Yards): Lucio's Bakery

Not sure if these have been posted here already but it's great to see storefronts filled! :-)

Starbucks has re-opened in the old Public Utilities Building downtown Kitchener! The location has re-opened as a licensed Starbucks location rather than a corporate run location. Anyone know who is operating the location this time?

Oh good, another weed shop.

If they can make a go if it, good on 'em. If not... they'll close and make way for something else. I'm most excited about the bakery on Park. It's about a five minute walk from my place so I hope it's good!

[panamaniac]

Yes, I’ll be surprised if at least a couple of them haven’t gone out of business by this time next year.

Lucio’s used to be located in Ayr

There's also a building permit for a bakery at 97 King St W (ex Tri-City Music/City Pawnbrokers).

Interesting choice of location.  You know what I'd like?  A mid-century style "Anglo" bakery, with things like Chelsea buns, sausage rolls, raisin tea biscuits, etc, etc.   I guess I'm feeling nostalgic this morning.

Guess I won't get.to use the gift cards I won a few years ago. Descendents is closing. https://www.facebook.com/100063574419400...l/?app=fbl

That really sucks. Descendants is awesome 😔

[neonjoe]

They were a good brewery for their events and gateway beers into the craft beer world. Most beer snobs that I know didn’t seek out descendants for their beers like Barncat or Willibald. They will be missed.

[danbrotherston]

Ahh...that really sucks. They were great. So frustrating when great places end up closing while...less savoury breweries continue to succeed.

[Spokes]

Ugh that really sucks
