Both locations have been open in London for the past 25 years.

The company said that no other clubs across Canada are affected.

“This was a difficult decision, based on unique circumstances that were isolated in London,” read the statement. “We want to thank our team members, our club members, the numerous local charities we supported, and the entire London community for the privilege of serving you for the 25 amazing years.
