An update from Merritt Clubs on the Canton Club in Baltimore following last night's storm.

As you may know, our Canton club was impacted by last night's storm. Currently, the Canton location is temporarily closed as we evaluate the extent of the damage.

Our dedicated teams and engineers are on-site, working diligently to ensure the club is safe and operational as soon as possible. We are most thankful that no members or staff were injured during this event and deeply appreciate the overwhelming support from our community and members.

Our immediate priority is to assess the situation and devise a comprehensive plan for repairs and reopening. We will address any inquiries once this plan is in place and keep you informed. Thank you for your unwavering support and patience as we work through this challenge.
