Murrysville Eat'n Park proposes additional dining space, disability access, pick-up window
Eat’n Park officials would like to make Murrysville their next location to receive an update, which will include a pick-up window for takeout orders.
“This isn’t an ‘order-at’ location,” said Jesse Stock, Eat’n Park’s design and construction director. “You order ahead online or by phone and just pick it up. There won’t be cars stacked at the window.”
Overall, the restaurant, off Route 22 in the Village of Murrysville shopping center, would expand by about 1,400 square feet.
“Part of this would also include bringing back the salad bar that was damaged a few years ago,” Stock said.
In 2021, an A.J. Myers & Sons school van carrying Franklin Regional students swerved to avoid another vehicle and crashed into the restaurant, leaving a gaping hole in the front of the building.
Fifty of Eat’n Park’s 58 locations include a pick-up window. In addition to expanding the dining room, Stock said, the renovation would add Americans With Disabilities Act accessibility to the restrooms and expand the number of ADA parking spots.
A lane dedicated for the pick-up window, as well as another dedicated to deliveries, will be one-way.
“We feel like we do a great job with takeout, and it will be a great addition for the community,” Stock said.
Council did not take any official action on Eat’n Park’s proposal at its recent meeting.
