Description
Honest Ed's opened its bargain bazaar in the 1940s. What began as a women's clothing store called The Sports Bar expanded into a household goods store, community hub, and uniquely Toronto experience. By saving The Royal Alexandra Theatre from demolition, Mirvish further gave back to the community by helping to foster a thriving environment for theatrical productions in the city.
