Ziggy's also has a concession every August at the CNE. I have a night pic from 2006 with Ziggy's in the background and Tiny Tom Donuts in the foreground.

They weren't confined to the GTA, though -- I remember Ziggy's in Ottawa, and possibly the Ottawa Valley, early to mid-80s. The ones we went to were in Loblaws, not stand-alones. I think there are still Ziggy's plastic takeaway tubs lurking in my mom's garage or basement, being used to store hardware & whatnot.

I vaguely remember Ziggy's. They lasted into the mid-'80s, didn't they?

Incredibly, the Vic Park + St. Clair No Frills is still in operation, AFAIK in the same premises...

h, this article is about Ziggy's, not Tim Hortons.
