Looks like the Panera Bread at Erin Mills Town Centre may have permanently closed. The signage has been removed from the building.

Correct. This is one of 5 locations that have closed in the GTA

Well that was quite the bloodletting. Only Barrie, Markham, and Oshawa locations are still active according to Panera's website.

This is terrible news for all soccer/football lovers in the city. Don't know what will replace it.

Hopefully another sports bar and not some overpriced hipster bar with no TVs. We got enough of those.

The Geneva Centre for Autism once held a company party at Scallywags.

It's so unfortunate it had to close.

From my understanding, there's 4 Chuck E. Cheese locations in the GTA; 2 in Mississauga, 1 in Vaughan, and 1 in North York:

There’s a Whitby location as well.

Chuck E. Cheese calling itself Pasqually's Pizza & Wings does not work wonders during the pandemic.

Trying to Support a Local Pizza Joint? Just Make Sure It Isn't Actually Chuck E. Cheese

A Philadelphia Grubhub user's experience is a reminder that delivery app restaurants aren't always what they seem.

Pretending to be an independent pizza parlour by a pizza & arcade company with a rodent mascot backfired hard, thanks to the thing called Google and Yelp. The age of Chuck E. Cheese / Pasqually's Pizza & Wings is over, especially given the thing called video games.

In other news, never trust beef burgers from an "independent" burger joint that happens to be owned by McDonald's, Burger King, or Wendy's.

Gusto 501, a new Italian restaurant in Toronto’s Corktown neighbourhood, was five years in the making. But just over five weeks after it opened, the COVID-19 pandemic shut it down.
