TORONTO – A ribbon cutting ceremony took place Wednesday to usher in the brand new Bad Boy furniture and appliance superstore located inside Honest Ed’s in the Annex.

A deal for the new location was announced earlier this summer following a discussion between Lastman and the family of the late Honest Ed’s founder, Ed Mirvish. The Bad Boy furniture store will occupy a smaller space next to the discount retail store.

The furniture store will not occupy the better known Honest Ed’s location and the future of the landmark at the corner of Bathurst and Bloor Street is still very much uncertain after the site was purchased by Vancouver-based luxury real estate developer Westbank Corp. last year.

In turn, the developer leased backed the property to the Mirvish family until the end of 2016.

Meanwhile, Bad Boy’s doors officially open to the public on Thursday at 6 a.m. with $50,000 worth of giveaways.
