Businesses that closed in Toronto this past month had us bidding farewell to places from a pizza joint to a meat pie shop. Italian joints, a vegan place, beloved bars, an amazing record shop and an incredible book store all closed their doors as well.

Here are the most notable business closures in Toronto this August.
