Chili’s Grill and Bar closing most of its Alberta locations

As of next month, Albertans who are fans of the Tex-Mex restaurant Chili’s will have fewer options if they want items from its menu.

In an email to Global News on Tuesday night, the company that owns the chain – Brinker International – confirmed it is closing nine Chili’s restaurants located across the province “at the end of this month.”

“Chili’s constantly reviews the performance of its restaurants and from time to time will make the tough decision to close a location based on evaluative criteria,” a spokesperson for Chili’s Grill and Bar said.

“Guests can still get their Chili’s favorites when travelling at our airport locations.”

There are locations at both the Edmonton International Airport and Calgary International Airport.

According to the restaurant’s website, there are currently 12 Chili’s locations in Alberta, including the airport locations: six in Edmonton, five in Calgary and one in Banff.

The Banff location shared a post on Facebook Wednesday morning, saying it would remain open.

Global News has reached out to Chili’s for clarification. The only other Chili’s restaurant location listed in Canada is in Saskatoon, Sask.
