SPOTTED: Yorkdale’s “fashion truck” selling clothes at Front and Bay

Yorkdale Shopping Centre’s massive expansion will open on Friday, and it’s celebrating by parking a “fashion truck”  outside the Royal Bank Plaza on Front Street today and tomorrow. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on both days, the truck will sell merchandise from some of the mall’s incoming brands, including Kate Spade New York, Ted Baker London and Loft, as well as items from Ann Taylor, Club Monaco, Diesel, Holt Renfrew, Microsoft and The North Face. Sure, the stunt is a blatant attempt to capitalize on Toronto’s fervour for food trucks, but hey, it could save downtowners the lengthy subway ride up to Lawrence Heights.
