According to the website of MagiCorp Entertainment, the company who has the rights to operate Gordon Biersch in Canada, there are locations that are "opening soon" in Whitby and Oakville. Does anyone know where these are located?

I don't recollect, but even if I heard the names they wouldn't mean anything to me. If anyone can confirm not only the address but the opening dates for these new brewpubs? It would very much be appreciated by us beer geeks.

This was in the latest Mississauga News:

MagiCorp Entertainment Inc. (MEI) has reached an agreement with an affiliate of PenEquity Management Corporation regarding the first six licensed restaurants it is planning to open in Ontario.

They will be launched by PenEquity under the Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant and Café Tu Tu Tango brand names. Under separate license arrangements which cover existing or future locations owned by PenEquity, two Gordon Biersch restaurants are due to open later this year in Whitby and Oakville, with Café Tu Tu Tango's to open in Whitby, Oakville and Mississauga early next year.

MEI will separately develop a minimum of 35 restaurants across Canada. PenEquity is due to develop a total of 10 restaurants on five of its multi-use retail-entertainment sites in Ontario.

I've heard that the first one is currently under construction in Whitby. I have an e-mail into the company to see if I can get some more details.

The Oakville Gordon Biersch opened this past Wednesday. The address is 2065 Winston Park Drive. Winston Park Dr is just west of Winston Churchill Blvd which is the border between Mississauga and Oakville
