I haven’t been chatty lately, but I have added new stuff over the past couple of months.

New location lists:

BIG updates:

I’m especially excited about the Toronto updates. This was a major expansion helped along by access I now have to a lot more digitized material that has allowed me to fill in a good number of franchise and other gaps. Toronto is one of my “adopted hometowns” and is one of the places I want to give a special focus to, so there will be more to come. I’ll be adding more photos and also expanding the timeline.


Former Loblaws, Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo.

New and expanded location lists:

There’s also this nifty new map to show you the geographic reach of the site.

Look for Twitter updates as I head for Southern Ontario in just a few weeks.

This is a beautiful  Toronto area store that has apparently been nominated as a historic property. Located at Parkway Mall in suburban Scarborough, the store opened in 1958 as a Grand Union, and has since operated as Steinberg’s, Miracle Food Mart, Dominion, and now Metro.
