4 h. ago Iconic Toronto snack window is back after closure some worried was permanent

Toronto locals devastated by the closure of a snack window that had long served as a summer go-to in the Cabbagetown neighbourhood will be happy to know that the independent shop is back.The 1872-built gingerbread storefront of Park Snacks is iconic for many reasons, from the ice cream and hot dogs it serves up exclusively during the summer months, to the adorably retro aesthetic it brings to the block, to what it stands for as one of the city's few side street businesses.But, anyone eager to hit up the independent business when spring 2024 rolled around was crestfallen to find it shuttered — which some understandably may have thought to be for good, given that it had been put up for sale at the end of the previous summer."With the building for sale, I pulled out at the end of the 2023 season and did not open in 2024," operator Bernard Dunford, who has been involved with the community staple since 1999, explains to blogTO.With Toronto'...
