Long-standing Mississauga steakhouse permanently closing

 

While 2020 is over, the pandemic, and the casualties associated with it, most certainly are not.

The latest COVID-19 casualty is a popular steakhouse in Mississauga.

Today (January 5), Canyon Creek announced it will be permanently closing its doors at two locations in the GTA--at Square One and in Scarborough.

"The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically altered our environment and put a great deal of stress on many businesses including our own," read a statement from the restaurant posted on social media.

"Our landlords presented us with an unexpected and immediate opportunity to vacate both locations. Given the current economic conditions and uncertain future, we have decided to exercise this option," the statement continued.

Those who wish to order one more steak from the popular restaurant will have until January 8 to do so, before the restaurant permanently closes.

The steakhouse has been a fixture at Square One for more than 15 years.

"We want to thank our valued Guests and team members for their loyalty and support during these unprecedented times," the statement read.

Fortunately for fans of Canyon Creek, the other two locations in the GTA, on Dixon Road and at Vaughan Mills, will remain operational.
