After establishing several markets across the Midwest and in Texas, Columbus-based Piada will open its 44th store in Grove City, off Stringtown Road. It’s a move they’ve planned since opening their fourth restaurant, and it’s part of Piada’s grander business plan to build out the markets they’ve broken into over the last seven years.

“We’ve always had it earmarked,” said Matt Eisenacher, VP of Marketing & Brand Development for Piada. “It is a place we’ve wanted to go, we just haven’t found a site that we’ve been happy with. We obviously wanted to be in the Stringtown Road area where a lot of people are … That road is the heart of Grove City.”
