Even the survivors - like Chocolats Andrée, a destination store that's been selling hand-crafted chocolates for decades - have been pinched.
"It's hurt, definitely. At one point, they put a chemical toilet right in front of the shop. It eventually got moved, but it still was there about a month," owner Stéphanie Saint-Denis said.
While many others have closed up or moved on since the construction disruption began more than two years ago - including another shortlived chocolate shop - Saint-Denis isn't going anywhere.
Chocolats Andrée has been at 5328 Park since it opened in 1940 and that's been instrumental in its success, the granddaughter of co-founder Madeleine Daigneault said.

They consulted our website and ordered by phone or email."
