Swedish fast-fashion retail giant H&M has permanently shuttered one of its first Toronto locations after more than a decade.
The store, at 427-429 Queen St. W., first opened in August 2007 in Toronto’s trendy Queen West neighbourhood, well known as a shopping, nightlife and tourist destination.
The news of its closure follows a spate of popular retail-chain departures on the famous Queen West strip throughout the pandemic, including stores like the Gap, Le Château, GUESS, EB Games and NYX.
I am rarely downtown anymore, perhaps I’m due for a drive through just to get a current sense of things, closest I’ve been is King & Cowan a couple of times of late.
I wonder if this is the start of the world class urban decline downtown Toronto Liberals have been striving for.
And who cares about them anyway?
Toronto needs a revised motto. How bout’ “We hate you if you’re not diverse like us.”
