The new retail strip beside Timmy's is now fully leased out, although the last 2 business won't be open for a while. Fat Bastard Burrito has been open a few weeks beside Shelbys. The Green Window is now working hard on construction, not sure when they are planning to open, still says Spring on their Facebook page, but I'd say likely July.
King's Blades Barber Shop just opened last week, and I popped in yesterday for a cut. This is going to be an interesting place once fully operational as they are also adding a liquor license. The waiting area is like a little rec room with a leather couch and a big screen TV. I didn't get the impression they want this to be a neighbourhood pub or anything, and it's not a huge space, but I said "what the hell, the shoe store across the road has a license as well, so why not?" lol. Will be interesting to see what they make of it once everything is done.
The guy cutting my hair mentioned the last empty unit, is going to be "some kind of Ramen noodles place" but that was the extent of what he knew. No construction has started in there yet that I noticed, looked more like a work space for the Green Window next door.
Inside the Esso store, they have 2 food counters. One is ice cream, serving Kawartha dairy, and they have been open for the last week or so. The other food counter is opening next week and will be some type of Middle Eastern and Indian take out.
Edited to add further information that King's Blade is half-owned by well known local hair salon owner Naji Dalal, who had until recently Sami and Naji in White Oaks Mall, and also has his own salon in Wortley as well as The Cut Above in Masonville.
