Owner of Bruni’s Fine Foods isn’t ready to retire just yet; his goal is to find a buyer who will continue to operate popular Wellington Street West location as a butcher shop

Whether he owns the building or not down the road, Bruni’s goal is to keep the store in operation so long as a future buyer continues to use it as a butcher shop. When he turned 19, Bruni was hired at the Dominion grocery store in the Churchill Plaza and worked there for five years. He also ran the former Farmers Market across from the Highland Ford dealership.
But over the years, Bruni has witnessed many local stores, butcher shops, and family-run businesses fold — either because the owners aged out, or they were overrun by major brand names. “Nobody wants to come into our trade to keep it going anymore,” he says. “Lots of people want to be a chef, but nobody wants to be a butcher or a meat cutter.”
