Duke's - a making of a brand. A well-made short film, directed and edited by Jim Bachalo, about the Duke's Cycle bike shop that's been at 625 Queen Street West since 1914 (except for the short period following the fire that took down the whole building in 2008).

Duke's Cycle to open in new location

Tue, 03/18/2008 - 21:47 by vic

Almost one month ago, Toronto's oldest bike shop Duke's Cycle burned down in the big Queen St. fire.

According to their web site (and a post on Torontoist), they have found a new location at 452 Richmond Street West, not far from their original space on Queen St. They should be ready to move in as early as April 1st! It sounds like this home is temporary, until they re-build on Queen St.

Thanks to Val for the tip.

Duke's Cycle burning down

Wed, 02/20/2008 - 09:00 by herb

Long established bike store, Duke's Cycle, burned down early this morning along with a number of other businesses and homes near Queen West and Bathurst. The massive 6-alarm blaze seems to have made quick work of the building. The Star article mentions that residents are being evacuated and that no injuries have been reported.

For the interests of this blog, we'd be interested in knowing what will happen to Duke's - rebuild, retire, relocate?
