Denny’s Canada has announced the long-term closure of its Barrie location, effective November 26, 2025. Since its opening in August 2023, Denny’s Barrie provided a welcoming atmosphere where patrons could enjoy quality food and connect with one another. Despite the team’s efforts to resolve operational challenges that emerged in October, no agreement could be reached with the franchisee and landlord to restart services.
Bobby Naicker, Director of Franchise Development for Denny’s Canada, expressed disappointment over the decision but emphasized the positive experiences created during the restaurant’s operation. He thanked the local community for their support and recognized the dedication of the team members who worked to provide memorable hospitality over the past two years.
Denny’s Canada remains focused on its expansion efforts both in Ontario and throughout the nation, with confidence in the brand’s strength and the potential of the East Coast market. Naicker indicated that the company is eager to explore future opportunities with the hope of returning to Barrie.
Although Barrie’s location is closing, Denny’s Canada continues to serve customers at several nearby locations, including in Toronto, Mississauga, and Vaughan, where guests can still enjoy the diner’s signature atmosphere and menu offerings. Denny’s Canada is recognized for its guest satisfaction and commitment to quality at approachable prices, reflecting its reputation as “Canada’s Diner.”
