Shinola allow Sam James to stay in their Ossington Toronto store

The Issue

Hi Shinola,

I'm not super familiar with your company or brand but I'm positive that your store coming to Toronto on Ossington, at the expense of Sam James cafe, is upsetting a lot of people. Sam James only occupies a tiny portion of the space you are about to take over. It would mean a lot to to the local community for you to let them stay.

Please let them stay so we can all be well caffeinated while we look at your watches and bicycles. We're asking nicely because we're Canadian after all.... but trust me, you don't want to come between Canadians and their coffee. Let the cafe stay and we'll all be friends.
