A longstanding Brantford business is vanishing from the downtown landscape this week.

Three years ago, Agnew and his minority partner, Jamie Grierson, sold the building supply company located at Clarence Street and Icomm Drive, adjacent to the Brantford Farmers Market.
Agnew tried to arrange a deal with Wilfrid Laurier University to build student residences on the site, but said the idea didn’t fit with the university’s plans.
