This has been confirmed?? I hope so as it's a great restaurant and I always enjoy it and I like seeing independent operators continue to do well in Calgary. We don't need another chain like a Keg or a Chop or anything.
I know they had a dispute with their landlord at the Cattle Baron down in the south and it was resolved with the landlord paying up.
From what I understand, the same company (Rio Can??) owns the property where Wellington's is and perhaps the threat was made not to renew their lease when it comes due. If the lawyers got involved again it could have resulted in an agreement.
It's a busy and well run steakhouse with a loyal clientele going on 40 years so it's not a situation where business fell off the cliff.
I am happy to hear reports that the lease has been renewed !! Like I had said in earlier posts, a great place to watch a Flames game and have a higher quality meal for reasonable prices.
