    • Demolition of downtown Kitchener building reveals former Red and White grocery store

      Waterloo Region Record y Terry Pender

      KITCHENER - The pile of bricks at King and Cedar streets is all that remains of single-storey commercial building with a long history in the downtown's east end.

      Workers will demolish everything but the foundation because the Toronto-based owner of the property wants to rebuild on the site, said Mike Seiling, the head of the city's building department.

      In 2012, St. Clair Appliance closed up shop and sold the building. The appliance business had been operating out of that building since about 1967.

      Before that the building was the home for Daly's Grocery. Leo Daly opened the store in 1935 as a Red and White, a chain backed by National Grocers. Demolition workers exposed the red and white checkerboard tiles that decorated the end of the building that fronted on King Street East, and ran along part of the Cedar Street side as well....
