Introduction

Ohio's last remaining Shoney's restaurant, in Dover, is permanently closing.

Firstly, for perspective per ScrapeHero.com's most recently updated company location count: There are 81 Shoneys restaurants in the United States as of March 07, 2024. The state and territory with the most number of Shoneys locations in the US is Tennessee, with 29 restaurants, which is about 36% of all Shoneys restaurants in the US.

Let us explore.

Shoney's, 2024

According to an August 11th report from The-Sun.com, the Shoney's restaurant chain was founded in 1947. No closing date for the Ohio restaurant has yet been announced; however, the location is presently up for auction and bids will be accepted until August 22.

It should be further noted no reason for the cessation of operations of the Ohio restaurant has been announced, though a key employee, store manager Mike Watson, has shared his opinion on the matter.

As excerpted from the report: Nick Hussein, the owner of the Dover Shoney's, has decided to scale back the number of restaurants he owns, according to Watson. Watson believes this is the reason Shoney's is being forced to shut its doors.

No entity has yet been announced as taking the place of the restaurant once closed, which will be based on the winning bidder for the location and subsequent city approvals thereof.
