LAROSA’S RICHMOND, KENTUCKY CLOSED; WILL BECOME SKYLINE CHILI LATER THIS YEAR
Two Lexington LaRosa’s to Continue Serving Central Kentucky Guests
RICHMOND, KY –February 20, 2023 – LaRosa’s Richmond at 2216 Lantern Ridge Drive, has closed and will be converted to a Skyline Chili to open late summer. LaRosa’s Richmond last day of business was yesterday, Sunday, February 19.
LaRosa’s Richmond opened in May 2021 when restrictions associated with the coronavirus pandemic had been recently lifted and diners were just beginning to eat out again. “Our friends in Richmond gave us a very warm welcome. Unfortunately, sales momentum over the past year and a half has not met our expectations,” noted Gary Holland, of LaRosa’s and Skyline franchise owner One Holland.
“Our Richmond team members did a wonderful job serving our Guests and we truly appreciate their dedication. We’ve offered them positions at other nearby restaurants that we operate,” Holland said. “We’d like to thank our Richmond guests and hope they’ll consider visiting our Lexington area pizzerias on Richmond Road and Southland,” he said. LaRosa’s Gift Cards or Buddy Cards purchased in Richmond can be redeemed at any LaRosa’s pizzeria.
“As disappointed as we are about closing LaRosa’s Richmond, we can’t wait to open our new Skyline Chili,” Holland continued. “We serve legendary Cincinnati-style chili and coney dogs we’re sure our Guests will love,” he said. One Holland is the largest Skyline Chili franchise group and also operates First Watch restaurants, LaRosa’s Family Pizzerias and Dunkin Donuts throughout Ohio and Kentucky. It recently opened a LaRosa’s in suburban Louisville, next to a new First Watch.
