It seems there is a Greek Restaurant suppose to open it doors, in Fairlawn plaza, and provide us with delicious gyros!

Here's to hoping!!!

Two of the three of these rumors have pretty much been confirmed but here is the 411:

The Burger King on Market Street near Acme #1 is closing.  Reason being that someone bought the franchise and they are not renewing in that location.  I have no idea where they are moving it to – will keep you posted on that!

Quiznos in Wallhaven is closing.  The location has not been lucrative enough.

Donatos in Wallhaven (same plaza as Quiznos) is closing.  Donatos has opted NOT to renew their lease.  WHICH SUCKS!  That is always the pizza place we ordered from – when we are not picking up $4.99 pizzas on the way home from work at Georgio's OFP. 

This is the skinny – with all these places closing -we will be getting skinnier!  HAHAHAHA

As always – These are rumors (in this case one of them is still a rumor vs fact) so before anyone gets crazy – these facts have not been confirmed with anyone with actual inside knowledge.  (Just the grapevine baby)

There is going to be a major split for this LARGE international real etate house.   The rift will only effect North America BUT it will be a major rift.  Too bad the Cleveland office doesn't know its coming and they will not be included!  Oops  

Hint: It is no one I have ever worked for!

THIS IS JUST  A RUMOR!!!!!!!!!!  It is NOT based on fact and is just a rumor heard through the grapevine!

 It is rumored that the Starbucks Sandrun & Market St is closing.     I hope for Deville's sake that is not the case!!!  No date has been given or if this store is actually closing, so lets hope not!!!

THESE ARE JUST RUMORS and HAVE NOT been verified!

1. There is a restaurant downtown that is going into where the irish pub (formerly The Grotto) use to be!  That is excellent news, the restaurant was just about ready to go prior to its owner passing. It is supposedly scheduled to open in 2 weeks!

2. This same restaurant will open another location in West Akron – Across from Summit Mall!!  Watch out Fairlawn/ Montrose - here comes some serious competition!

UPDATE:  Hi All!!!  As Geddy & Rob brought to my attention – one restaurant does not make for an explosion, they are correct!  BUT – what I poorly wrote and should have said was that there is a local downtown restaurant opening another two locations.  A pub in the Valley (where the Grotto use to be) and a restaurant located across from the mall in the Four Points.  This would be 4 locations for this restaurant and for a local restaurant vs a chain – this is incredible and could be considered an explosion.  WORK WITH ME!!!!   Sorry for the confusion!

UPDATE II: Pub Bricco opens today!!! (11/17/09)   The Mr was lucky and was invited to a pre-opening menu tasting at PB.  He said it was good!!!  Burgers, chicken samigaes (sandwiches), and turkey burgers – sounds a little like Metro Burger.  BUT – The Mr gave it two thumbs up!

Is the former AmTrust building, on the corner or Broadway and Market St,  to become a restaurant?  That is the rumor…..
