An Ontario burger chain that's been on quite the roller coaster recently just confirmed that one Toronto location will be closing down.The past few months have been full of ups and downs for London, Ont.-based vegan fast food chain, Odd Burger.The chain, founded in 2014, has opened a slew of new restaurants across Canada over the past year, including an inaugural location in Vancouver and Edmonton (with another on the way).With great expansion comes great difficulties, on the other hand, and locations in Toronto have, seemingly, borne no small amount of challenges.Earlier this spring, a long-awaited location on Broadview went up for lease despite never actually opening after years of developmental issues, which came just months after the company scrapped their plans for a major U.S. expansion amid political tensions.Now, the chain's Scarborough location at 4549 Kingston Rd. has been stirring up concern, as the doors of the location remain locked and the restaurant has been m...

3 w. ago Here's what to do with your empties in Ontario as Beer Stores close down

As Beer Store locations across Ontario gradually shut down, residents are wondering where the heck they're supposed to return their empty alcohol cans and bottles if and when their neighbourhood outpost of the chain closes.Since 2007, The Beer Store (TBS) has been accepting these returns for deposits under the Ontario Deposit Return Program (ODRP), which is administered by it, the provincial government, and the LCBO.But, with alcohol sale rules amended last year to allow convenience stores and a wider range of supermarkets to offer select adult beverages, these points of purchase will now also become part of the program.Under a new agreement, starting January 1, 2026, all grocery stores over 4,000 sq. ft. and more than 5 km from an operating Beer Store will be required to accept empty containers from consumers, and refund the deposits that are rolled into the price of canned and bottled drinks as a condition o...
