Shoppers Drug mart music museum
Hard Rock Cafe may be gone now, but
Shoppers Drug mart has chosen to dedicate a museum to Yonge Street's music history:

Re: Shoppers Drug mart music museum
Shoppers Drug could use some good publicity. Their "automated" self checkout process is a failure, they've sneakily raised the number of points you need to get $ off a purchase on your Optimum card, and the app for the Optimum card is a disaster. It's difficult to use, if not impossible, and way more trouble than pulling out a piece of plastic.
On the plus side, the 20% off every Thursday for those who are 55 years old and up is pretty sweet.
On the negative side, their radio ads are sounding stale after years of the same voice and writing style, they sure could use a refresh.

It's not a museum dedicated to the Hard Rock Café.
It's about that whole few blocks of Yonge St that was filled with live music venues in 50s, 60s and early 70s. The building the Hard Rock took over was once home to the Friar's Tavern and the Nickelodeon.

Would that also apply to the two gentlemen's clothiers, that certain mythical real estate agent, that "@ car" guy who, seemingly, it appears like he's fronting every dealership on the planet, those endless lawyer spots?...........

Granted. And who is the audience supposed to be? Millennials, GenX/Z? There's a reason those places went under. So, are we to believe that the very people who stopped patronizing these establishments are going to visit places they don't care about?

Not sure what you're going on about now, Mr Miserable, don't really care. Just pointing out it's not a Hard Rock Café museum.

Yes, and I'm wondering who the audience is supposed to be. How does a simple question, not targeted specifically to you, insulting to you?

Well, let's hope Shoppers has a great marketing campaign to let people know about this museum; because quite frankly, a drug mart is not where I would expect to find anything about Toronto's Musical history.
