Business/Services Missing in Leslieville?

Hi All,

My husband and I live in the area and are considering opening a business.

We have a few ideas but thought some "market research" on the board might shed some light on what businesses or services our neighbours wish were available. 

 

Please let us know, what do you think is missing in Leslieville?

Or what do we need more of? 

 

Thanks so much.

 

Emily

A bakery and a good video store on Gerrard.

I'd love a Korean place...missing kimchee and tofu soup for cheap and cheerful takeout!

There is a micheals in behind Yorkdale and a Fabricland over there around Orfus Rd. Couple Fabriclands just east of us on Eglinton where all the big box stuff is. That said MacFab should have everything you need in that department. They used to be more fashion oriented when they were over on Queen but at the back they still have loads of thread and notions. Keep in mind pillows use zippers, buttons and thread too!

I haven't, but aren't they primarily home decor fabric?  Fortunately I have little left to do in that department.  I do a lot of garment sewing, though, but the fabric stores up the street from me on Gerrard don't really have what I'm looking for, and that includes all the notions (zippers, thread, buttons, etc - I have yet to see a sari with a zipper).  I also really miss having a crafts store (Lewiscraft, Michael's, etc) in the city.  Deserres is nearby, but they tend more to either fine arts or crafts for kids.

A bakery on Gerrard would be fab!

Gerrard is desperate for some excitement... especially the stretch between Greenwood & Coxwell, glad to see a nice brunch spot is opening up near Coxwell, but a bakery or a cozy pub/cafe would be a welcome addition.

I think it'd be great to have somewhere to watch a game, go for a a casual drink.

Leslieville mentions on Twitter (unmoderated)

@SheilaSpeaking @Leslieville_mom @acampbell99 Seriously? Do they skew towards prep? #EQAO

@Leslieville_mom @acampbell99 @SheilaSpeaking Exactly. Which is why the rankings like those of Fraser Institute are so misleading. #EQAO

"@cleverdave: @RandyRisling take a look for it at @TheCeiliCottage as well as @AnSibinPub in Leslieville/Riverside. great spots! #melonhead"

"@cargocabbie: In #leslieville we saw @JCoJunk crew in action! Look for this great #junkremoval co @Homestars http://t.co/R5I6V6bLfX"#Agree

@Leslieville_mom @stepfordTO @acampbell99 There are Ministry #EQAO info sessions for parents

@Leslieville_mom @stepfordTO @acampbell99 Different groups have different priorities maybe.. eg http://t.co/amou5jkee9

@stepfordTO Very well put. #eqao

@acampbell99 @sheilaspeaking @stepfordto #eqao prep & clubs seem to go against the "snapshot" concept & reinforce #equity issues.

@acampbell99 @Leslieville_mom @SheilaSpeaking Wondering if that could be challenged? Test less valid (on own terms) w/ prep. #EQAO

@Leslieville_mom @sheilaspeaking @stepfordto Some boards require teachers to prep students and run after school Booster Clubs for #EQAO

Just listed in South Riverdale area near Leslieville. Join my tours today of this home before its gone.... http://t.co/wVRP7rExlk

@SheilaSpeaking @stepfordto @acampbell99 So parents and teachers alike are not so subtly encouraged to teach to the test? #eqao

@SheilaSpeaking @stepfordto @acampbell99 Also many gov't/board/parenting websites publish old tests presumably to practice. #inequalty #eqao

New silo going up (quickly) @ Leslieville http://t.co/MuzaXnZ4nd

@metromorning Whole Foods offers products other grocery stores don't. It's Leslieville Cheese, Sanagans, and organic grocery all in one.
