Making Room: A Speaker Series Vol. 7 How to save a corner store: A neighbourhood retail story In 2022, Finch Store, a neighbourhood corner store, was visited by Toronto Municipal Bylaw officers and the owner was told her espresso machine was unlawful. The regulations in her area did not allow food and drink preparations. Though about three years later, the Mayor hand-delivered her a new license.
