Earl’s Kitchen + Bar has 67 locations across North America so it’s not exactly the kind of locally owned small business we typically showcase here on the Scoop. But, the development of this particular Earl’s across from Sherway Gardens sparked my interest because the construction of it seemed frozen in time- it ground to a halt just as the pandemic was declared last March. Now over a year later, things are moving again and a new sign says it is opening this summer. A literal sign of hope that all types of restaurants and bars will be back in action soon. Rosie 🙂
