If you often drive by Wharncliffe Road South and Base Line Road West, you may already have noticed Raptors apparel at that corner.

Ivan Suleiman works at the temporary business in the intersection and he says they have been crazy busy since Game 1 of the NBA finals.

“People driving just stop by and get a flag, car flag, or t-shirt. Everybody wants to support the team, so it’s nice. It’s really been good for business, so I am happy in both ways,” he says.

“Early in the play offs, I don’t think many people believed in the Raptors just because the past history, but once they beat the Bucks, flags and other apparels have been flying,” says Suleiman.

Prices range from $25 to $50, all depending on what people get. Suleiman says that price is not a big deal for Londoners and that people are paying whatever to support their team.

“I think we’ll definitely take it. We won a game and we weren’t home, of course, not expecting that. The Raptors have the whole country on their backs supporting them, so they can’t lose. Go Raps!.”
