Short description

The funny, heartfelt story of The Kims, a Korean-Canadian family, running a convenience store in downtown Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. Kim ('Appa' and 'Umma') immigrated to Toronto in the '80s to set up shop near Regent Park and had two kids, Jung and Janet who are now young adults. However, when Jung was 16, he and Appa had a major falling out involving a physical fight, stolen money and Jung leaving home. Father and son have been estranged since.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The series had been renewed for a sixth season, but its creators and writers, Insoo Choi and Kevin White, moved on to other projects, and the fifth season became the last.
  • The store mentioned in the English title of the series is an exact replica of a real-life shop in downtown Toronto called 'Mimi's Variety'.
