Moms-to-Be-and-More will close on Bayview Ave on Sunday, May 3, its owner Karen Becker has announced. In a statement, Ms Becker said the large multi-store shop at Bayview and Manor Rd. will close Sunday May, 3, 2015. The satellite location on Research Rd will close on July 5, 2015. Recently the company said it was downsizing by letting go two storefronts at the north end of its large premises. Over the years, the dynamic Ms Becker had parlayed the corner premises into a four storefront behemoth. In her statement she thanked clients, suppliers and staff “for being a huge part of the success of my store”. The Bayview location opened shortly after the turn of Y2K having seen both a Black’s Camera (before Blacks was owned by Telus) and a Mr. Sub (not Subway Sandwich) shop open and close in short order. In closing, Ms Becker said: “It has truly been an honour and pleasure to share in so many of my clients’ happiest moments. From baby’s first steps to first pregnancies, there have been too many amazing moments to mention and I now hold them in my heart as fond memories. I hope in turn we also hold a special place in the hearts of all of you.” It is perhaps coincidental that another childrens’ clothing store Never Grow Up is scheduled to open this Spring at the location previously held for many years by Newsome Photography
