Roosters on Olentangy River Road hoping to reopen in the next 2 weeks
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- The Roosters restaurant on Olentangy River Road that has been closed since a fire last year expects to reopen in the next two weeks, a spokesperson for the restaurant chain confirmed to NBC4.
The company bought the land next door to the restaurant to add more parking, Columbus Business First reported.
Earlier this year, the restaurant said it hoped to reopen in the fall, barring any construction or permitting delays, but had not provided a specific date.
A spokesperson for the restaurant chain said they should have an exact date soon.
The restaurant has been closed since a fire in July 2024. The fire caused more damage to the restaurant than initially expected and has been undergoing renovations.
The Olentangy River Road location opened in 2000 when there were just a handful of restaurants. The chain now operates more than 40 locations in four states, according to Columbus Business First.
