The amount of business they do is colossal though. They receive a full 52’ truck delivery every second evening. The headaches are a lot less now than during the pandemic too. I doubt they are going anywhere.

It was the beginning of the end when they got rid of the fries outside

True but with only 500 meters between the two locations, I can see the Queen Street location closing.
They would not open a new location so close if they wanted to keep the old one open. They generally do that when there is reason to like impending closure or required upgrades.

Yonge/Adelaide is within 500 m of both Eaton Centre and Queen/Church. There's less than 300m between Yonge/Grenville and Yonge/Wellesley locations. I don't think this criteria carries much water.

Yea look at Sherway Gardens they have 3 McDonald’s in close proximity 1 is in the Walmart the other is a stand alone store literally 100 steps away and the other is in Sherway Gardens

McDonald's is not like Subway, or even Starbucks. They are quite aggressive in not saturating the market. I would assume the one on the corner is closing when the new one opens.

I am here to say this is a big tangent about McDs.....I mean this is a thread about restaurants, not dispensers of questionable food-like product.

Real Jerk on Gerrard and Carlaw is good, although I go perhaps once every couple of years

I've never tried either. I would usually just stick with Jerk King or Scotty Bons for casual takeaway Caribbean food. Recently went to Chubby's at Portland & King this summer. It's like a fancier restaurant version for the King West crowd.
The 647 College Street locations seems like a tough spot, it was previously Night Owl and a bunch of other things in the past. Lots of competition nearby.

Scotty Bons is also pretty awesome!

The owners behind Mississauga’s Honey Soul Food are opening a new Toronto restaurant called The Hive. It'll be located in the former Saving Grace spot at 907 Dundas St W. Opening date is Sept 28th, with a soft launch a few days earlier.

Not disputing that!
I just hope you've also tried Jerk King not far from their Bloor location. Both great places for jerk chicken, but I prefer Jerk King (Bloor & Bathurst) for chicken legs & rice and Scotty Bons (Bloor & Spadina) when I am in a mood for a sandwich with Jerk chicken meat.
