It recently served as temporary political campaign office for Willowdale’s successful Provincial MPP candidate:
Next, this space might host a Chinese restaurant; but the rest of the building is pretty much useless for anything unless there’s major repairs to bring it up to code

It's interesting to note that they have what appears to be a self-serve kiosk. I don't think I've seen any taco bells with this yet.
There is also a notice for a liquor application posted near the entrance. What kind of taco bell is this?

Taco-Bell tried to roll out their Cantina (beer serving) Taco-Bell last summer but first one didn’t open until this Spring in Hamilton. In US, some Cantina Tac0-Bell also serve slushies spiked with rum/tequila!

On a community note, within the last year, there’s been a number of medicinal weed places popping up in the Yonge-Sheppard area; community members, local ratepayers groups & councillor’s office have been trying to shut them down via the Police - but really cat and mouse game as they just pop up elsewhere nearby,.... anyways, with legalization soon, the Taco-Bell and McDonald’s here should profit: “Legal Weed May Be A Windfall For McDonald’s And Taco Bell”

7-11 that closed last July at northwest corner of Yonge & Sheppard will be replaced by HSBC Bank.

That's unfortunate, but the 24h McDonalds location is already to many the de facto bus shelter at that location.7-11 that closed last July at northwest corner of Yonge & Sheppard will be replaced by HSBC Bank.

An HSBC? Wow, that is certainly going to generate some excitement on this corner. /sarcasm
On a more positive note, the Taco Bell is now serving alcohol.

I think after a pair of Doritos Locos Tacos, your bar for acceptable beer would slide down a few notches

So I guess HSBC is not coming. The old 7-11 space has been vacant for almost 3 years. I wish the next store would excite me!

HSBC Bank is still coming - I'm expecting bank interior construction to start a month or so after current lockdown is over.
Delay over the years mainly due to zoning change required and appeal - during pandemic:
- 1992: Previous Canderel 29-storey mix use from 1992 only allow ground floor restaurant, retail store and personal service shops - no banks allowed!
- 1997: City expropriated land for Sheppard STUBway construction
- July 2006: City converted public laneway behind site to private laneway and lease site with private laneway to DovCapital
- July 2007: 63 parking for proposed food court with 9 stalls reduced to 10 parking then zero for current configuration (reasoning cited both times that its above subway station)
- Sept 2019 HSBC Bank agrees to rent space
- Feb 2020 Committee Of Adjustment grant variance zoning change to allow bank on this site,... which was appealed to TLAB/OMB by the adjacent property owner to the north!
Private property owner to north appeal because corner this site has no on-site parking:
- so drivers looking for (free) parking are constantly parking illegally on private rear parking of appellant property - which is now blocked off with cinder blocks (liable - tripping hazards BTW)
- drivers, especially food delivery drivers picking up at McDonalds & Taco Bell constantly park illegally on the Public Laneway behind appellant property - call Parking Enforcement and they're gone by the time Parking Enforcement arrives
- apparently, this parking issue is negatively affecting Appellant from renting their retail space
- Also note, the private laneway behind this site are gated off - delivery trucks often off-load on Yonge St or Sheppard Ave because it's easier and faster than going through that gated private laneway
Anyways, TLAB/OMB concur with Committee of Adjustment decision to allow rezoning for bank so HSBC will start interior construction soon.
