Mary Macleod’s is Planning A Big Move in 2018: Note from Sharon Macleod 

After 20 years in Riverside, Mary Macleod’s has expanded considerably, now providing its cookies to cafe and retail locations throughout Canada as well as shipping personalized orders throughout the country and internationally. They have truly outgrown their small shop and facility here in Riverside, and decided to make a big move to a larger facility where they can operate at full capacity and continue to grow.

They won’t have the same type of shop/street presence in their new spot and are gearing toward their growing market of shipping orders. Their last day open at their Riverside shop will be February 14th – please stop by at 639 Queen Street East for a sweet farewell!

Sharon Macleod sent us this message to share with the neighbourhood:

Dear Neighbours and fellow BIA members,

After 20 years on Queen Street East in Toronto’s Riverside neighbourhood, we’re moving in early 2018. I invite you to drop by and help us celebrate our last Christmas in Riverside.

We will definitely miss the vibrant neighbourhood. As an early settler in Riverside, we have watched the area grow and flourish. When Mary moved to Riverside, the bakery was open to retail customers only a couple days a week during non-Christmas and then 5 days a week from October to December. It was mainly her loyal customers from the Yonge and Eglinton area who would make the trek. We are now open 7 days a week throughout the year with lots of neighbourhood customers, so quite a change.

Our reason for moving – we’ve found a larger space in West Toronto that will help us keep up with the ongoing demand for our shortbread cookies. Of course, we will continue to make our shortbread Mary’s way – by hand, in small batches, using premium ingredients.

Though we won’t have a traditional retail store, you can still purchase shortbread cookies online or by phone and pick up orders at our new space Monday-Thursday from 10am-4pm.   And of course, we’ll continue to deliver anywhere around the globe. We’ll also have open houses around major holidays so you can shop for seasonal gifts, enjoy cookies and the heavenly smell of buttery shortbread.

Sign up for our mailing list at marymacleod.ca and stay tuned for more information.

Sincerely,

Sharon Macleod
