Healthy restaurant closing one location and selling the other in Toronto

A restaurant that serves healthy salads and smoothies has announced they’re closing down one of their locations and selling the other.

The Goods serves wholesome bowls, sandwiches, wraps and tacos made with nutritious ingredients. Sadly for health nuts, at least one of their locations will be closing.

“The Goods is a special place, but it was designed and created in 2012, for an old world, and over the last four years we’ve become a small business statistic,” reads the caption of an emotional video post from the restaurant announcing that their Queen West location will be closing and that the Roncesvalles location is for sale.

“I will keep the Goods for now, though I have no idea what that means. As of this moment it’s business as usual and your support is appreciated as always,” continues the post.

“We will let you know when we have more information regarding the Goods. Please spread the word, selling the restaurant would be very helpful financially, and I know there are many wonderful humans with big ideas in their hearts that could feed the community out of that sweet, accessible location we built from scratch.”

The Queen location has been open for a year, and the video mentions that it was a bit of an experiment, but that the restaurant was embraced by the neighbourhood. The Goods was first established in 2012.

“It has been such a journey and I’ve loved every moment of it,” the Goods owner Lisa Labute says in the video post. “I’ve definitely had many nights of being really sad and grieving that loss of knowing that I can’t take it any further. But I can’t.”

The 279 Roncesvalles Ave. location of the Goods is listed for sale, and interested buyers can reach out to Carve Real Estate for more details.

The 1170 Queen St. W. location will close July 19.
