LYNDHURST, Ohio - Granite City Food & Brewery in Legacy Village has closed.
It is one of several Granite City locations in the country that shuttered this week, including ones in Mishawaka in northern Indiana; Carmel, Indiana; and East Peoria, Illinois.
The restaurant's website lists Maumee as the sole Ohio location operating in the Bloomington, Minnesota-based chain, and its Legacy Village web page is down.
Two years ago, it was reported that Granite City was making more of a concerted effort to compete in the craft-beer world with more seasonal releases and increased training for its staff. At the time, the company operated 36 restaurants in more than a dozen states.
The Legacy Village restaurant, which covered 11,500 square feet, was in the space formerly occupied by Joseph-Beth Booksellers on Cedar Road. It opened in 2013, brewing its own beer. The restaurant offered an extensive weekend brunch and regular beer releases.
Its name is derived from the nickname of the city of St. Cloud, Minnesota, site of Granite City's initial location. The company started in 1999.
A manager with the Legacy Village location could not be reached for comment. We’re waiting to hear back from a representative with the company about the closure.
