Toronto neighbourhood is losing its local fruit market after 20 years

Another independent supermarket in Toronto is closing its doors after decades in the neighbourhood and moving to a new location. 

Roncesvalles Fruit Village, located at 147 Roncesvalles Ave., has sat at the corner of Garden Avenue for over 20 years, and has come to be known for its consistently fresh and affordable produce.

In a letter posted in the supermarket, owners Kenny and Ling announced that the business would be closing up shop at the end of their lease and moving their operations further downtown. 

"We feel honoured to have been able to serve this community for the last 20 years," the letter reads. "We cherished every moment in this neighbourhood and would like to thank you for all your support through all these years." 

Loyal patrons can still depend on the supermarket's mini selection of berries, apples, and pumpkins at their new space, located at 628 Queen Street West. 

Their longstanding Roncesvalles location will officially close its doors on Wednesday, Nov. 8.
