Description
When Ed Mirvish was fifteen his father died and left him with two options - steal or work. So he dropped out of school and became the proprietor of the family's insolvent grocery store in a tough Jewish neighbourhood. Today, Ed Mirvish's store Honest Ed's is a multi-million dollar operation that draws 10,000 customers into the store on a regular day and twice as many during the holiday season. Ed also owns and operates "Mirvish Village," a thriving and colourful community of artist's studios, shops and restaurants on Markham Street; six restaurants; three magnificent theatres; and a museum of theatrical props, sets, costumes and antiques. How To Build An Empire On An Orange Crate details Ed Mirvish's extraordinary journey from Dundas Street to Buckingham Palace. (1997)
