TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct 6, 2014) - Stoney's Bread Company, a Crave It Restaurant Group property, will open its second location on Monday October 6th, 2014. Located at 1045 The Queensway (at Islington), the restaurant will bring its hearty, home-style offerings to residents of Etobicoke.

The beloved Oakville establishment first opened its doors on Kerr Street in 2004, with dishes that were simple, fresh, and full of flavour. Named after former Toronto Argonaut Norm "Stoney" Stoneburgh, football legend and seasoned philanthropist, Stoney's places great value on its community and patrons, as evidenced by generations of loyal clientele.

Featured on Season 1 of The Food Network series You Gotta Eat Here, Stoney's holds widespread appeal as both an excellent to-go option and dine-in experience. Guests can visit Stoney's throughout the day, for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or for a quick coffee and snack. Beloved signature dishes include the Stoney's Omelette, Flat Iron Steak Sandwich, Maple Glazed Salmon Salad, and Fettuccini Chicken. The eatery's popular Sunday Brunch is served weekly from 9 am to 3 pm. A full version of the Stoney's menu can be seen here.

From a first date to brunch with family, Stoney's is an inviting gathering place for many occasions. Service is fast and friendly, and the interiors are charming but casual, with blackboard menu boards, rustic wooden tables, and redwood seating. The same warm, welcoming environment will carry through to the Queensway location. "We want our guests to be able to relax and connect with friends and family," said Sean Black, Chief Development Officer & Co-Founder of Crave It Restaurant Group. "The new restaurant will invite guests to enjoy a healthy and comfortable dining experience, delivering the familiar classics for which Stoney's is known."

Stoney's is another creative outlet for the team behind Crave It Restaurant Group, which also owns and operates Via Cibo and The Burger's Priest. The hospitality group has been growing their portfolio with the best quick service dining in and around Toronto's downtown core. "We're really looking forward to launching Stoney's on The Queensway," said Alex Rechichi, President of Crave It. "We believe that the restaurant will become as integral to the Etobicoke community as it has been to Oakville for over ten years."
