1177 Danforth is in the works for Danforth & Greenwood where the Beer Store currently is.

Yeah what isn't nowadays.

I was surprised by a THIRD new condo announced a few blocks down on Kingston road, while the first one of two down the street from me has barely begun breaking ground. 'Opening in March 2016' - yeah right.

Too bad losing a TBS with good parking. If that's one thing TBS do right… heavy bottled goods and short customer visits dictates free parking.

Was at the Greenwood store today and they're advertising that they close down for good at end of day on March 18.

The Beer Store near Dovercourt & Dundas has a condo sign up, too.

Any other stores going?

The Beer Store at Avenue Road & Bedford Park (north of Lawrence), which is down the street from where I grew up and literally there for as long as I can remember, is gone. Saw the last remains town down a couple weeks ago.

The Beer Store website has a section called Upcoming Openings but everything listed there are stores (new or relocated) that are already open. None relate to any locations mentioned above.
