Now, you might be saying to yourself, "Why shop Toronto if I can shop online?"
And you're right - you could. But why should you spend hours & hours hunting down the same information that we are offering for free?

Toronto is known as a wonderful, lively and culturally unique city. In renowned actor Peter Ustinov's oft-referenced quotation, "Toronto is a kind of New York, operated by the Swiss". Many years later on, when asked about this quotation, he replied, 'I've learned it's really run by the Canadians' - and truly, Toronto is a poster child for the multicultural mosaic that Canada promises to be. We have one of the most diverse group of neighbourhoods you can find in Canada, where you can walk around Greektown and end up in Little India before you've polished off your gyro, then stop off for traditional pho in Little Vietnam to complete the trip - all inside 20 minutes of each other (once you know the proper path).
It has merged into a uniquely Torontonian perception of society, and that viewpoint shapes everything we do, from our furniture stores to our design companies. The GTA is all about synthesis without assimilation - not a megacity but a metacity, with neighbourhoods at the root of it all. This allows us pull together various customs and subcultures and designs and viewpoints to make something fantastic, truly wonderful - something that you won't find anywhere else in the world.
At Scopelocal, we can't get enough of Toronto and its neighbourhood way of life, and we do our best to help support them, their people, and the businesses that power them. So go for it, buy local from your favourite part of town, and help contribute to making Toronto the vibrant and wonderful area that it is.
