What’s Happening at Moxies?

Moxies is starting 2026 by shuttering its location at Yorkdale Shopping Centre after 18 years.

“While it’s always difficult to close a restaurant, we remain proud of our [Yorkdale] team’s role in creating memorable experiences for those who have visited,” Joanne Forrester, president and COO of the popular restaurant chain, said in a statement.

“This closure is not an end, but a step toward our continued evolution, allowing us to focus on future growth opportunities. We are deeply grateful for the loyalty and support of our guests.”

The “Yorkdale staple” will officially close its doors on Jan. 17, 2026. It’s unclear if the company plans to open another restaurant in the area.
