The store, located at 176 Yonge St., was kept open since it contained a grocery store.

A company spokesperson told Narcity that they believed it was in line with the province's orders.

However, they later opted to close the stores down and offer curbside pickup instead.

The move comes after Doug Ford got grilled by reporters about the locations opening on Monday afternoon.

The premier stated it was "unfair" that big box stores like the Bay would remain open while many small businesses would be forced to close.
