Is Ottawa getting an Uncle Tetsu's on Elgin Street!? pic.twitter.com/Xg8yiNdLp8 — carys mills (@CarysMills) March 7, 2019

The arrival of Uncle Tetsu’s in Ottawa, which will be a franchise shop, yields a fitting tenant to take over the space that was Boko Bakery, a beloved Japanese bakery. Boko closed last October after 36 years in business.

There are Uncle Tetsu shops in China, Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii and California. The company plans to open in Europe, South America, and South Asia, its website says.

The opening date for the Elgin Street location has not yet been decided, Uncle Tetsu Canada said in a statement.
