Originally blogTO reported that the business had closed right around Christmas however; a report by the Toronto Star found that owner George Mihail had retained lawyer Lydia Pilch for a last-minute attempt to save the restaurant and hopefully reopen.
Speaking to blogTO, Pilch said that she reviewed the lease agreement and found that it had no right to be terminated.
However there are plans to develop Brimorton Plaza, where The Real McCoy has called home for decades, into a condo tower.
Pilch says Mihail and developers have reached an “amicable settlement” to depart early and that restaurant will not reopen in that location.
