Happy summer, Kitchissippi! We’ve checked in with our neighbourhood BIAs to learn about the latest business news.
Here are some of the headlines:
Openings
Wedel – Touch of Europe opened its doors on May 21. Unfortunately, it was vandalized shortly after. We spoke with owner Justyna Borowska about the incident and how the business is bouncing back (you can read the story in this edition). The business is a grocery store, deli and bakery offering “a curated collection of European products, catering, and daily hot lunches,” according to its Facebook page. Westboro is its second location in the city.
Welcome to the neighbourhood, Mario Uomo! The business will open in Westboro as soon as COVID-19 restrictions allow.
