Yorkville newsstand Maison de la Presse closes its doors for good
| July 25, 2014
One of the city’s last authentic newsstands, Yorkville’s Maison de la Presse, shut down on Tuesday. The shop was a go-to destination for Torontonians looking to browse hard-to-find international fashion magazines, foreign newspapers and a wide selection of Francophone reading material. Not surprisingly, the retailer had been steadily losing customers to online sources for a while, according to the Star.
