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?

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!

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).

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.

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