The new location officially opened its doors on April 1st—not as a prank, but as a heartfelt surprise.

A menu full of memories
Arthur Treacher’s first opened in 1969 in Columbus, Ohio, and quickly became a go-to for British-style fish and chips.
With its crispy fish, fried chicken, hearty clam chowder, and of course, those hush puppies, it’s no surprise it became a staple in so many communities.
The brand also carries a touch of Hollywood charm—named after English actor Arthur Treacher, known for roles alongside Shirley Temple and in "Mary Poppins."

A familiar favorite rises again
Back in the 1970s, the chain had over 800 locations.
But like many businesses, it faced challenges and eventually scaled down.
Despite the setbacks, two Ohio locations—Cuyahoga Falls and Garfield Heights—kept the legacy alive.
Now, with Cleveland Heights joining in, the brand is reconnecting with longtime fans and welcoming new ones daily from 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Whether you remember sharing meals with family at the original locations or you’re simply curious to see what the buzz is about, this reopening is a beautiful blend of past and present.
It’s about good food, fond memories, and creating new moments to cherish!
