A little over a year after it opened, the Krispy Krunchy Chicken at 1929 E. Main Street closed its doors in September. The location had taken over where the former Long John Silver’s/A&W restaurant had been. There’s no word on what will happen to the location now, but for lovers of the franchise, there’s still another location available on W. North St.

2. Shrimp House
This local seafood stop was torn down back in August. Its demolition followed a smash-and-grab robbery where a van was crashed into the strip mall where the business was located, which then caused a fire. Two businesses were a total loss following the blaze and have still not reopened.
The property managers for the restaurant, Westerville Square Inc. based in Columbus, couldn’t be reached to answer questions about what may be next for the location.

3. The Highlands Cafeteria
This local institution had been part of the community for over 60 years before it closed down this past July. The Highland Cafeteria had served many a guest at the Clark County Fair over the years, and was famous for its roast beef hot shots. The cafeteria closed ahead of its host body, the Highlands United Church of Christ, which hosted its last service in November.
