Special Tribute to Al and John Carpone, Owners of Kit Kat - King St
Legendary KIT KAT - CLOSED DOWN !!
Where the Carpone Brothers were graced by the presence of many Celebrities and Royality over the years.
It is so very sad to think popular "Kit KAT" and Owners Al and John Carpone fell victim to COVID. So many
of our wonderful fine restaurants and other businesses have seen the wrath of this horrible pandemic.
The two brothers have been a fixture in the Community for almost 4 Decades. Kit Kat was the brother's
identity and through years of hard work and determination they were one of the best Restaurants in the Toronto
Saying good bye to Toronto has been extremely difficult when Al and his brother spent so many years, it was their
life. They were the Special light of the Community, customers became friends; friends become family over the
years. So many lives affected with the closing of Kit Kat Restaurant on King St. West Toronto.
The King of Struggle is Covid but the wrath of Mayor Tory's "King Street Closure" Pilot Project had already
provoked severe hardships for the Carpone's as it did to many small business owners along the strip. Closing
down traffic on King Street, added costs for Patio's and preventing parking. Is it the right decision to "hurt"
existing small businesses to move streetcar traffic vehicles better.
Small Business Owners have put their lives on the line for decades to support the Community
They were there before the Pilot Project - call it "Squatter's rights"
Shut Down + Covid was far beyond what any business can survive.
