flag Olive Garden is returning to Ontario with new locations in Ajax, Ottawa, and Vaughan, marking its first expansion into the province since the late 1990s. flag The rollout, led by a partnership between Darden Restaurants and Recipe Restaurant Group, includes openings in Ottawa and Vaughan this summer, with the Ajax location pending a future date. flag The move follows Recipe’s acquisition of existing Western Canadian Olive Garden locations and a national development agreement. flag The expansion comes amid a challenging restaurant environment in Canada, with up to 4,000 closures projected in 2026 due to high costs and weaker demand. flag Industry experts say Olive Garden must deliver strong value to succeed as consumers continue to dine at home more often. flag Additional locations are expected to be announced soon.
