They posted a note on the front door at their store at 75 Bridgeport Road East, thanking customers for their support and loyalty. The note reads, “The construction of the LRT system and competition from the Big Box Stores has affected business drastically for the past year.”

The establishment goes on to write that they tried to focus on turning things around but were met with little success.

Mike Horn is the owner of the neighbouring business beside the now closed store. He tells 570 News he found out about the closure about a week ago.

“I came into work and the sign was there,” says Horn.

His business hasn’t been affected by LRT construction because people are able to get to his store with their vehicles.

Horn has known the owners of the Healthy Foods and More store for eight-to-ten years.

“Obviously it’s not good,” says Horn. “You can see all the construction on King Street I know businesses that are struggling and it’s never good when a business closes.”
