Not all newspaper dispensers are coin-operated. There are many dispensers that contain free publications. These might be local alternative papers, real estate listings, used auto listings, etc. The ones in TO actually look like they're the type with free papers as there is no coin mechanism that can be seen.
Coin-operated dispensers may contain out-of-town newspapers that aren't carried by shops in the area.
In towns and larger cities dispensers could be anywhere. Typically places that have high amount of foot traffic. At bus stops, in front of businesses (restaurants are a common place), etc. It wouldn't be uncommon to find one at a strip mall.
It doesn't really matter that a nearby shop might sell the same paper. That shop likely isn't open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Some people might get a paper at 6am before a store is open, for example. And, as pointed out above, the paper makes more profit by selling directly to the customer instead of going through a middle man (i.e. a store).
May I ask where you live in which they don't have any newspaper dispensers?
