Broadview Bakery victim of Queen East resurrection rents

by  • 

Broadview Bakery and Deli at 728 Queen St. E, had been in business for 30 years

There’s much grief among residents and a good deal of anger over the closure of Broadview Bakery and Deli, a long-time favorite at 728 Queen St. East. The Leslieville Facebook page has a long thread of comment. The reason for the closure is a reported doubling of the rent. No amounts are stated but all of historic lower Broadview Ave. and Queen is undergoing what some might call gentrification. The resurrection of the Broadview Hotel at the corner in 2017 will have pushed up both values and rents.
