Roosters on Olentangy River Road announces reopening date

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- A Roosters location on Olentangy River Road has announced when it will be reopening after a fire last year forced its closure.

The restaurant will reopen on Thursday. Their website shows all of their locations open at 11 a.m.

The company bought the land next door to the restaurant to add more parking, Columbus Business First reported. Watch previous coverage in the player above.

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.
