Eat'n Park Closing 5 Ohio Locations

Eat'n Park will close five of its Northeast Ohio restaurants in February, the company announced on Thursday.

The Boardman, Chapel Hill, Medina, Mentor and Willoughby locations will shutter on Feb. 17. The company wants to focus on its other restaurant brands, including Hello Bistro, which recently opened a location at Beachwood's La Place shopping center.

"Although this decision makes sense from a business perspective, it is always difficult to part with team members who shared their loyalty and talents with us. We are grateful to them,” Mercy Senchur, Eat’n Park COO, said in a press release.

Employees at the restaurant will reportedly be given the opportunity to transfer to a new location, WKYC noted.
