Ren's did you know?

Torley's Market was located at 416 East A (Holt) street. This site was developed in 1930 with Torley’s Big Store. The original building is described as having a “large tower” with neons and pull down doors. On New Year’s Eve 1935, the building was so severally damaged by a fire that it had to be completely removed. The rebuilt store was larger in size but did not have the same “high tower” as the original. Torley’s Big Store appears to be Ontario’s first “big box” retail store. In 1976, Torley’s Big Store closed its doors. #125to125 #CelebrateOntario
