The Outback Steakhouse has announced it is pulling out of Ontario, closing nine restaurants, including operations in Ancaster and Oakville.
The company has posted a brief statement on its website, which reads, in part: “The decision to exit Ontario was a difficult one, and it was made only after considerable reflection and analysis.”
The statement provides no explanation as to why the Australian-style steakhouse made the decision to leave the province.
The Ancaster restaurant is located in the Meadowlands Power Centre. A media inquiry to the restaurant was referred to the corporate office.
Despite the closure of the Ontario restaurants, effective Monday, the chain still has three restaurants in Edmonton, Alberta.
The company says it is “looking for ways to honour active gift cards as conveniently as possible,” and is asking customers to check its Canadian website again in about seven days for more details.
The seven other Ontario restaurants were located in Windsor, Etobicoke, Kitchener, London, Richmond Hill, Niagara Falls and Whitby.
