Summary
From a tiny 1971 deli on Leslie Street with just 85 seats, The Pickle Barrel grew into a beloved Toronto institution—earning the nickname “Pickle Barrel Plaza”—before expanding its menu, catering empire, and even partnering with nutritionists to stay relevant. Though it faced setbacks in recent years, including the closure of its original location after 50 years, the brand remains a thriving force across Ontario, employing over a thousand and serving up 300 menu items.
