Eat'n Park on southbound McKnight Road closing
Ross’ days as a two-Eat’n Park town are numbered.
On Dec. 1, the Homestead-based chain will close its restaurant along southbound McKnight Road after 46 years of business, company spokeswoman Courtney Koch told TribLive.
Another Eat’n Park, on the northbound side of McKnight Road just half a mile away, is staying open. It’s the larger of the two restaurants in Ross.
Affected workers have been offered positions at nearby Eat’n Park locations, Koch said.
She declined to say why the restaurant was closing.
Earlier this year, an 81-year-old waitress there got viral attention and a more than $335,000 payout from GoFundMe after a Millvale woman rallied support to help her retire.
Eat’n Park has about 50 locations, mostly in Western Pennsylvania but also in Ohio and West Virginia, and more than 8,000 employees.
