ALSO SEE LATER POST A news release distributed to Google News from a Polish public relations firm, Sat Press Releases, announces that Organic Garage, a small chain of organic food grocery stores will open in Leaside. The release says Organic Garage Ltd. “has entered into a lease agreement for a new location situated in the Leaside neighbourhood of Toronto.” It does not name the site of the new store or mention when it might open. There is however a description of the premises as being 12,000 square feet. A rendering of what is suggested to be the location shows an elegant brick building much in the style of the 1920s railway engine repair structure in the Leaside Village which now houses Longo’s. The mystery has many people guessing. The South Bayview Bulldog made several attempts by phone Tuesday to find someone at Organic Garage who knew about this opening but was unsuccessful. Email is pending. On its website, Organic Garage is shown to have two locations open in Thornhill and Oakville with a third about to open at 43 Junction Road in the west end. The company says it is offering its customers a wide selection of healthy and natural products at everyday affordable prices. It goes on: “Founded in 2005 by a fourth generation grocer, Organic Garage is headquartered in Toronto and operates a highly efficient supply chain through its centralized distribution centre. The company is focused on continuing to expand its retail footprint within the Greater Toronto Area. For more information please visit the Organic Garage website at www.organicgarage.com” There is an interesting history and family story at this link.
