Canadian Thrift open in my 'hood!

This was the scene in Pape Village a few weeks ago: the former Bed, Bath & More had a sign in the window. Canadian Thrift Coming Soon.

Then a few days later: the sign went up.Then the Open sign!

I popped in the other night and discovered I knew the owners - go figure! They used to have a shop on Danforth Ave. at Woodbine, across from the Value Village I frequent. Then they sold the biz and moved out to Scarborough, and decided recently to move to my 'hood, good old Pape Village.

I will do a more thorough review of the shop when it officially opens - likely next weekend - as the place is still in the set-up mode and stock is still arriving. But I will say it's not just thrift: they have suppliers in Montreal who provide them with new merch/apparel as well. For the grand opening, which I will do my best to give you a heads up on, they plan on having specials and a whole lot of stock from this supplier.

Sorry, so new I don't have an address yet, but it's Pape Ave. just north of Cosburne on the east side, across from the Value Mart and gas station.

Stay tuned!
