Home Hardware in the Sunnybrook Plaza has confirmed that the end is near for the store that has been an essential go-to place in South Bayview. An employee says that that owner Malcolm expects to be at the location until about November. There are apparently no plans to open another area store so far. Rents are high, it was noted. Malcolm owns three other Home Hardware operations, two on the Danforth and one at 2305 Queen East in the Beach. The closest Home Hardware store now appears to be at 1420 Yonge (at Pleasant Blvd). You will walk from the Green P garage on Pleasant up to Yonge and cross the street to patronize it. Dickson Home Hardware at 2028 Avenue Rd. is very good (and large) but it’s nearly at Highway 401. Most days, we would trade an LRT for a good Home Hardware.
