There have been a significant number of closures in Downtown Edmonton this year alone; we wanted to find out what exactly has been going on for this all to come to a head. From Wilfred’s to Zymo, these restaurant closures in Edmonton’s core continue to grow and grow. One thing that is undeniable about Downtown Edmonton is its construction. Padmanadi is one of the restaurants standing strong in downtown that has also recognized these problems of running a business in the area. These restaurants, businesses, and families want to stay in Edmonton and continue uplifting the city that has brought so much joy to many and will keep doing so.
