King West’s Cool Hand Luc is getting evicted (and selling off all scoops for a dollar)
Perhaps the apocalypse is arriving this weekend after all. Cool Hand Luc, the cheery ice cream parlour that Luc Essiambre opened last summer, is closing tomorrow. According to a post on the store’s Facebook timeline, the building that houses the shop at 545 King Street West has been sold to a new owner, who has other plans for the space. Essiambre is currently looking for a new location in the neighbourhood, but needs to clear out his stock asap—which means that scoops are now selling for $1. [Facebook]

Now they will learn to get a better lease next time around. I wouldn’t blame the new owners, I am sure they followed the lease agreement.
This is unfortunate. Such a great place to grab a scoop or lunch. I hope they find a new home.
bummer – now we have to walk 20 kms for a scoop of the good stuff…
