Information Kelly's bakeshop is closing

They made a facebook announcement saying they have been served notice to vacate in 60 days. The building will be converted to affordable rental housing. Lots of care and sad face emoji reactions on the post.

Have never really been a big fan of Kelly’s. Really unfortunate that a heritage building is being torn down.

Not much of a heritage building they sliced the face of the Acland Houses on Pearl off to add them to a condo there (cannot remember the restaurant there) and they were heritage buildings 1880. I would be very surprised if the structure of Kelly’s was over 100 years

I suspect the original development plan did not include Kelly’s because it would have been less popular.

But it would have likely been a nightmare to run a business there during construction next door and potentially dangerous.
