Gaudy and much-loved discount store Honest Ed’s is up for sale

More than six decades after the late Ed Mirvish opened his iconic emporium at Bloor and Bathurst, his family is looking to sell the valuable, subway-adjacent property. The National Post reports that several real estate companies have quietly been invited to bit on Honest Ed’s and a large swath of neighbouring land in a deal that could be worth $100 million. However, Mirvish’s son David—who has already riled up some change-averse Torontonians with plans to raze the Princess of Wales Theatre—refused to comment on a possible sale. What he did say: “everything is on the market with me …  you never know what will happen in the future.” Not exactly reassuring. [National Post]
