The history of Toronto's famous Stollerys store at Yonge and Bloor Toronto Stollerys
During the mid-1950s, I was a teenager and worked for one summer at the Imperial Bank at Yonge and Bloor Streets. Each day, on my lunch hour, if I strolled south on Yonge Street, I passed by Stollerys and gazed in the display windows.
Frank quit school when he was 14, which was not uncommon in that day. He found employment in a shop where he learned the skills required to cut men's shirts and ties. A few years later, he relocated his business to the southwest corner of Bloor and Yonge Streets . He rented the property, but in 1928, purchased the site and commenced renovations. He also purchased the building to the south of his shop and incorporated it into the store.
The decorative stone carvings on the facade reflected Art Deco, with modern Italian trends. The store's display windows became famous as they were meticulously arranged to feature the most up-to-date styles of expensive suits, jackets, raincoats, ties, shirts, and pyjamas.
