They left in the early 90′s as did Allegro and James McIntosh Philatelist. Zunders shut down in 1992 and a furrniture store opened in 1994 or so. There is another furniture store now called EQ3 there.

Surprising given how popular Barbdorf’s was back in the day! Refresh my memory – do I remember correctly that Barbdorf’s was located right above Zunder’s Fruitland on the corner of the Byward Market and George St?

I moved away in 95′ and I am still holding onto a few dresses that I loved. I’ll be going back to Ottawa for a friend’s wedding and would love to know if they are still somewhere in the city. Websearches have yielded nothing. Last I heard they were going to move to TO.

Back in the mid-80s I well remember the countless times I pleasurably whiled away the hours in Allegro’s while I went thru their endless assortment of hip threads. To this day I still have my London Fog raincoat & old pair of Docs that I bought from them years ago. I seem to remember they were on the same floor as BG’s before they moved — or was that another retro clothing store? It’s been a while so my memory may be off – anyone out there remember?

You have a beautiful and informative blog.Thanks for publishing it. could you possibly tell me where you get your labels/clothing tags from? Thanks, Lyn in Penetang

I moved to BC in 1995 and wished I had purchased more of their dresses. I still wear the dress to this day. Styled for REAL women, the type with curves!! I always wondered what happened to them and Allegro
