Episode • Feb 25, 2021 • 1h 15m

The Door store in Toronto’s West end is one of these important family businesses.  It has maintained its unique presence over the years by creating a magical niche within an industry that cherishes its contents.  

The Door store is part museum, architectural library, antique shop and vintage market.  This is an institution where some come to learn, find ideas, and get lost in an era when design was considered equally or as important as function.

On this episode I had the opportunity to speak to Leila Mirshak, also known to many Sam’s Mirshak’s daughter.  Leila used to ride her tricycle in the store way back and now watches her two daughters to the same.  Leila is supported in the store by her husband Jason as they slowly take the reins from Sam. 

 Hope you enjoy this episode and if you haven't been to this amazing place... Check it out soon!

Thanks Leila!
