3 h. ago Hudson's Bay to close remaining Ontario stores initially believed to be spared

The six Hudson's Bay department stores in Ontario and Quebec that were spared from closure have found their reprieve to be only temporary.Hopes for retaining these locations to potentially continue a seamless, downsized existence of the iconic Canadian retailer, which was first founded 354 years ago as a fur trading business, have now faded.This, it seems, is where the curtain finally falls on an era of a storied company.In a new court filing that has yet to be published at the time of writing, the six store locations added to the liquidation and imminent closure list now include the heritage downtown Toronto flagship store at 176 Yonge St., the Yorkdale Shopping Centre store in Toronto, and the Hillcrest Mall in Richmond Hill, Ontario.In Quebec, the remaining locations that will close include the heritage downtown Montreal flagship store at 585 Saint-Catherine St. W., CF Carrefour Laval mall, and CF Fairview Pointe-Claire mall.Liquidation at these six remaining locations will b...

While the GTA is certainly far from lacking when it comes to great pizza shops, there's something uniquely special about a good, old-fashioned mom-and-pop shop.Sure, they may not carry the same street cred as trendy spots like Badiali, nor come with a celebrity chef cosign like Maker Pizza, but the history, which is all too often painted across their walls in the form of framed newspaper clippings, awards, and photographs, adds something that buzz just can't.While Toronto proper boasts such stalwarts as Oakwood Pizza and Danforth Pizza House, Thornhill has Dante's, which has been slinging traditional-style pies and Italian cuisine since 1976.Founded by Dante Paoletti, the pizza shop has been a local phenomenon for decades as it keeps the community supplied with gourmet pies and a full suite of Italian staples.
