Monroeville Eat'n Park diner site to become a CVS Pharmacy |
[Note: Amazing that after only 10 years, Eat N Park calls it quits with their "diner concept," when retro diners in other locales are still going strong. Perhaps the whole "diner thing," just doesn't resonate in Western PA? Or maybe just building a place that LOOKS like a diner doesn't make it one.... For those who don't know, Eat N Park is a Pittsburgh-area chain that has its roots in the drive-ins of yore...hence the name. Of course, it probably should be Park N Eat, but that's another story..... Oh, and this diner was built by Kullman. RJD.

One of the three Park Classic Diners that Eat'n Park closed has been sold, and its site in Monroeville will become a CVS Pharmacy.
Orion Development RA LXII LLC of Weirton, W.Va., bought the site at 3893 William Penn Highway from Eat'n Park Hospitality Group Inc. under a $1 affidavit, but the deed filed in Allegheny County showed a sales price of $1.925 million.
Construction on the CVS should begin by year's end, with a summer 2010 opening, said Mike DeAngeles, a CVS spokesman. The other closed diners are in Jeannette and Boardman, Ohio.
