After 18 years of serving the residents of the neighborhood, we have made a difficult decision that we will close the SPAPINA branch on February 14th. ”

I was there and told people that this was an old Toronto store, and I love you guys and I don't want to see you close"A restaurant fan wrote.
There has also been speculation in the comments about whether the restaurant's closure is related to Fresh's acquisition by Recipe Unlimited in 2021.
One netizen wrote: "This often happens when a small company is sold to a large company. I guess Spadina's Fresh restaurant was considered unprofitable, so the company decided to close it"。

Nicolette Garito, a representative for Recipe Unlimited, told reporters that the closure of the restaurant was "financially justified" and reiterated that they were "grateful for all the support that the Spadina community has given over the past 18 years".
However, Fresh's Bloor, Crawford and Front locations will remain open, so you still have the chance to dine at one of Toronto's best vegan restaurants.
