I called the store Saturday morning (Mar 22) and got an answering machine. The recorded message said the store was closed for 5 days and would reopen in a new location in Markham. I didn't hear the new address or even if they gave one.

Anyone know anything further about this?

Yes they sent out an email about their move to a larger location, I would post the new address but I deleted the email since I only shop online and have no use for the actual store location.

They are still in business but are in the process of moving and we all know how much fun that is =)

Thanks for the confirmation, Sandi. Since I live in York region, the fact that they're moving to Markham is great news for me.

I'll just call and see if they update with their new location.

Sure wish there was a location down here in Niagara. Their service is great, I just hate paying for shipping.

Oh no! I'm so glad you posted this. I'm going to TO in the morning and I was going to make a detour up there. That would have been a royal waste of time.

I hear ya! I was going to just go there based on the address alone. It was my husband who recommended I call first. I live just outside of T.O so it wouldn't have been too bad.

Glad I saved you some precious time!

Wow, I can't believe they moved to Markham. Why would they move up there when they had an excellent location on the subway line? I rarely shopped there, but this just guarantees that I will never shop there now.

No matter how many times I planned to drop by the store, I only made it there twice, I usually order online, so I'm not too worried about the location change. I imagine the drop in portion of theirs sales was so negligible that moving out of the expensive Toronto real estate market was a good move for them.

I've ordered from them twice now, and am eagerly awaiting my second package, as I've ordered some of the shiritaki noodles this time.

I've found them to be great to deal with and the items come well-packed.

I usually get my low carb wraps in Niagara Falls at either TOPS or Wegman's. They can be a bit hit or miss to get them though and they keep changing the name of them. I find the Countdown ones (used to be Carb Countdown, but I think they changed that). I used to find the La Tortilla Factory ones and the Tumaro ones sometimes. It's really a crapshoot each time I go across the border I find.

What kind of stuff did you find when you where there? I'm always on the lookout for something new.

And speaking of new, has anyone tried the Hershey's SF Chocolatey Caramel chocolates? They are great! I found them at the Bulk Barn.

I am very interested in trying the Mama Lupe wraps from the LowCarb Grocer but everytime I check them out it says they are out of stock. Does anyone know where I can get low carb wraps and Davinci syrups in the Sudbury area.

This place sounds great! I'm not too far from TO for shipping. Could someone give me the website address? I did try a few combos for the address but it didn't come up .
Thanks!
