Photographer Patrick Cummins has been documenting these two storefronts on Queen for the past 25 years. Dencan Books is still in business in the Junction.
Fab's original location was further east.

Queen and Beverley/Then and Now
The N/W corner of Queen and Beverley in 1983. This simple wood frame building is probably one of the oldest stores on Queen West and is occupied by a furniture store, a used clothing store (Fab) and a small Pizza Pizza outlet. Note the sagging roof and crooked windows.
By February 1988 Fab had taken over the left side and Pizza Pizza the right.
By the spring of 88 Fab is gone and the space building is for lease.
HMV soon took over the building and did some major structural work with an addition to the rear but still retained the facade and much of the wood details. Thanks to Patrick Cummins for documenting the transitions.
2010.
