Frances Borg’s father, Salvatore Sanci opened a banana store in 1928. Known as Sanci’s Tropical Foods at 66 Kensington Avenue, Sanci’s was the first non-Jewish merchant in the market – he moved to Toronto from Sicily in 1914.[iv] As his family’s business moved into the wholesale market, and small businesses became obsolete, it was proposed to Borg and his family that they branch out from bananas and start receiving mangoes shipped in from Jamaica. He accepted this change, and spurred on by a growing Jamaican presence in the market and Toronto in general, his family stopped selling wholesale bananas altogether in 1962.[v] This shift in both consumer and product is an important part of this moment in Kensington Market’s history, as the Market would continuously experience these shifts and changes throughout the 20th century, and into the 21st.
