COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — The Roosters restaurant on Olentangy River Road near Ohio State University expects to reopen in the fall.

The restaurant said reopening is pending construction progress and permits, but is currently on track.

“We want to take a moment to thank all of our amazing guests and team members for your patience during this time,” the restaurant said in a post on its Facebook page.

The restaurant’s social media page indicated that work has been ongoing for the past few months.

“Your support means the world to us and we want to open the store just as fast as everyone else does!”

The restaurant has been closed since a fire in July 2024. The fire caused more damage to the restaurant than initially expected.
