🌮 Popular taco joint calls it quits after seven-year run. Yabo's Tacos announced it won't renew the lease for its Hilliard location, with July 31 marking its final day of service. Owner Scott Boles is taking steps toward retirement, according to the announcement posted on the restaurant's door. Fortunately, the entire Hilliard staff will remain employed as a new, yet-to-be-announced restaurant concept takes over the Cemetery Road space. Taco lovers can still visit Yabo's "thriving" locations in Westerville and Lewis Center.
🍩 Parlor Doughnuts expands with second Central Ohio location next month. The popular doughnut chain, which opened its first area shop in Powell this February, will add a new Lewis Center location in the Evans Farm development. This expansion comes as part of the company's growth throughout the Columbus region. The new shop represents continued commercial development in the massive 1,100-acre Evans Farm project, which local reports suggest is still in early phases of its overall development plan.
