Primanti Brothers ended its 10-year run in Boardman as the Pittsburgh-based restaurant chain shuttered its South Avenue eatery on Monday.
Within the past year, the company has closed seven locations and rescinded plans to open a restaurant in the Harrisburg, Pa., area. Over the weekend, Primanti Brothers closed sites in Camp Hill, Pa., and Lancaster, Pa.
“Thank you, Boardman. This location is now closed — but we’d love to see you at any of our many other Primanti Bros. restaurants,” said a sign on the business’ door.
The Boardman location, which opened in September 2015, marked Primanti Brothers’ initial foray into the Ohio market. It runs a restaurant in the Eastwood Mall complex in Niles.
“This is not a decision we take lightly,” Ryan Wilkinson, Primanti Brothers vice president, said in a news release.
The company, which operates under the Authentic Restaurant Brands umbrella, said it is maneuvering operations to best address demand.
“The iconic sandwiches we’ve been serving for almost a century remain unchanged.”
Pennlive.com reported Primanti recently closed restaurants in Hanover, Pa., and Chambersburg, Pa. Last year, management ended operations in Morgantown, W.Va., and the Garfield neighborhood in Pittsburgh.
The web-based reporting agency also noted Primanti Brothers decommitted to building last year in Harrisburg.
The restaurant, known for its sandwiches heaped with coleslaw and french fries, traces its roots to Pittsburgh’s Strip District and the Great Depression. Joe Primanti went from a sandwich cart to storefront operation.
“One winter someone drove up with a load of potatoes. He brought them over to the restaurant to see if they were frozen,” recalled Primanti’s nephew John DiPriter, on the company’s website.
“I fried the potatoes on our grill, and they looked pretty good. A few customers asked for them — so I tossed them on the sandwich.”
According to Primanti’s website, the remaining restaurants serving customers are in Pennsylvania (29 locations) West Virginia (4), Florida (2), Maryland (1) and Ohio (1).
Garnett Station Partners, a principal investment firm in New York City, owns Authentic Restaurant Brands. Last month, it reported having $4 billion in assets.
Primanti lists Gerald Pulsinelli as its CEO.
