What Now Columbus reached out to a representative with Meritage Hospitality Group to learn details about what the new concept will be and the anticipated timeline for reopening the restaurant, but a request for comment was not immediately returned. 

However, the Dayton Daily News article quotes a statement from the hospitality group in reference to the closure, “In regard to future plans, we intend to reopen as a different concept and look forward to once again serving the community in days to come.”
