It is a local landmark[1][2][3] originally consisting of three pizzerias: King of Donair, Sicilian Pizza and the European Food Shop.

[2][3][5] In 1995, when the G7 Summit was held in Halifax several world leaders made a point of visiting the location and buying donairs.

[6] In 2012 King of Donair left their longtime location over a dispute with the building owner, leaving the iconic corner with only two pizzerias.

[7] The space was filled for a few years by a frozen yogurt chain, but in 2017 Pizza Girls opened in the former KOD location.

[8] The European Food Shop closed in 2015 after operating there since 1987,[9] but the space was not left empty for long as Johnny K's Authentic Donair opened up just a few months later.
