The announcement states that its last day of operation was **Saturday, March 14, 2026**, with the deli offering **50% off their full in-store menu** during the final two days (March 13\u201314) for those paying in cash.

([tripadvisor.com](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g155019-d23893191-Reviews-Dave_s_Genuine_Deli-Toronto_Ontario.html?utm_source=openai))\n\nThere was at least one plan to open a second location \u2014 a \u201cDave\u2019s Genuine Deli & BBQ\u201d downtown on **King West**, expected around June 2024. However, there is no indication that this second location ever opened.

A second planned spot (King West) seems not to have materialized.\n\nIf you like, I can check archival sources to confirm whether the King West location ever launched, or see what might be coming next from the owners."
