Lexington Community Embraces LaRosa’s; Demand Brings Expansion

CINCINNATI, OHIO – December 16, 2019 – Earlier this year, LaRosa’s entered Lexington with its much-anticipated Richmond Road full-service restaurant serving its family-recipe pizzas and other Italian favorites, adjacent to the new full-service Skyline Chili, to long lines and devoted guests.  The demand has been so great that LaRosa’s franchise owner One Holland Corporation has opened a delivery and carry-out location at the corner of Southland Drive and Nicholasville Road to serve the surrounding area, including the University of Kentucky campus and campus housing.  The Southland Drive “LaRosa’s Tower” with large signage was designed to be visible from its set-back location so that guests can easily locate it.

 “We have been overwhelmed by Lexington’s enthusiasm for LaRosa’s – our guests have been very vocal that one LaRosa’s is just not enough!”, exclaimed Gary Holland, One Holland Corporation, franchise owner of the Lexington Skyline and LaRosa’s. “As a thank-you to the community we surprised some local businesses last week with LaRosa’s Italian favorites and their reactions were unforgettable!”, he continued.  The Southland delivery & carry-out location opened earlier today with an official ribbon-cutting and performance by the award-winning Lexington Catholic High School Band.  One Holland Corporation has additional expansion plans on the horizon for Central Kentucky, including Brannon Crossing in Nicholasville and Richmond Center near the campus of Eastern Kentucky University, projected to open the Fall of 2020; additional details will be released in early 2020.  One Holland Corporation is also an Official Partner of University of Kentucky Athletics with LaRosa’s, Skyline and First Watch restaurants in Central Kentucky.
