The Brands 4 Less pop-up store at 418 Eglinton Ave. West will close barely two months after it opened. An employee at the store said that it had been planned to run the store for at least six months but disagreements had developed with the landlord. Brands 4 Less is a cut rate retailer selling general merchandise and it has four other stores in Toronto, all of them permanent locations. 418 Eglinton was built in the 1930s and served as a grocery store. It is a large building and includes a basement. In recent years it has been a challenge for retailers. It was recently the home of Liv, a spin off of the Au Lit group. At one time, the building housed the Paul Slavens real estate offices which are now located in company-owned premises across the street on Eglinton West.
