The J J Davis Store in 1900, operated by Jack and Charles Davis

Davisville is named after John Davis and his family. John came to Canada from England at age 27 in 1840. The J J Davis Store was built in 1894 by the Davis family. A general store and post office was operated by Jack and Charles Davis, grandsons of John Davis. In later decades it became home to other retail stores and is now Starbucks at the corner of Yonge St and Davisville Ave.

This Davisville Village “Did you know…” brought to you by the SERRA Heritage Working Group.

Since announcing that “Mac” would retire from Millwood Shoe Repair and Skate Exchange, Ramin and his wife have taken over as the new owner operators.  If you poke your head in the front door you will see Ramin wielding a hammer or drill embarking on the demo and removal of the old fixtures and antique shoe repair machines.  He hopes to have the shiny new equipment and decor ready soon so that he can make your shoes look shiny and new!  We are very happy as another family business joins the South Bayview shopping strip and The Bulldog wishes them the best in their endeavors!

Cumbrae’s chipping away at 1589-1591 Bayview

by  • 

As Cumbrae’s continue their transformation of 1589-1591 Bayview Avenue into a big new butcher shop, workers can be seen chipping away at the façade of what was once a TD Bank branch (back in the 1990’s). Cumbrae’s is a veteran of the street with its busy store located at 1636 Bayview. The dynamic high-end meat and specialty food retailer will convert the new larger space to the complex environment needed for a sophisticated butcher shop. We are looking forward to when the new store is finally revealed. Previous
