Homefront will close its last remaining shop in the New Year. Homefront has operated both on Eglinton Ave. W and, until May of 2012, at 1579 Bayview Ave. The home accessories store has been in business for 20 years at the Eglinton location. The owners, Trish and Ted Stuebing have decided to retire from retailing. “It has been a wonderful time and we are deeply indebted to the friends and customers who patronized our shops over the years,” said Mrs. Stuebing. “But change is necessary and good. It is time for us to say goodbye to this time in our lives.” Beginning December 27, 2013, the Homefront store at 371 Eglinton Ave W. (just west of Avenue Rd.) will be on sale. All inventory will be marked down and store fixtures are also for sale. Many of the services which were offered by Homefront will not be available from that date. There will be no gift wrapping, no gift certificates and no returns or exchanges. The company continues to have substantial inventory of signature lines such as Michael Aram, Emma Bridgewater, Lamp Bergere as well as kitchen and bar glasses, linen, soap, baskets and many other items.
