Dear friends of Rapp,


It is the height of summer, and in Toronto, that means... construction!!!

It may look like pandemonium out there but let us assure you we are open, as always, 7 days a week and our usual store hours to serve all of you.


Monday – Wednesday 9:30 – 6:00

Thursday 9:30 – 8:00

Friday 9:30 – 7:00

Saturday 9:30 – 6:00

Sunday 12:00 – 5:00


And there is method to all this madness, by the time this project is done, we hope our stretch of College Street will be transformed and beautified with new sidewalks, many more indigenous trees, extra bicycle racks and newly built parkettes with greenery and sitting areas, so we are pretty excited about all of that.


In the meantime, we are very accessible along Dupont St, Bloor St or Harbord St., with free parking along Shaw Street (southbound) and Roxton Road (northbound) and paid parking in the College Square mall (look for signs for Metro, Shoppers Drug Mart and Tim Hortons) at College and Crawford. If you are not sure how to get to us, do not hesitate to call and we will guide you through the shoals of construction straight to our door!

In the meantime, here is just a small sampler of the newest and best in our second floor sunglass showroom:

“I am looking for friends. What does that mean -- tame?"

"It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. "It means to establish ties."

"To establish ties?"

"Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world....”
