As a much-loved eatery among multiple communities, Grinders has successfully lived up to its‘ above and beyond’ philosophy, not only expanding geographically but also adding event catering services to its portfolio. Furthermore, it has recently invested in four locations with the addition of trendy bars, called THE GAB BAR, which fit in perfectly with their décor and aesthetic. Guests at Canton, Hartville, Louisville and Alliance can now enjoy a choice of delicious, handcrafted cocktails – vanilla pear mule, lemon meringue martini and grapefruit margarita, to name but a few. Beers, wines and spirits are also on the menu, and the company plans to install bars in the remaining three venues, following high popularity with guests and a boost in revenue.

After five decades of serving Northeast Ohio, Grinders has maintained family ownership through generational transitions and remains dedicated to exceptional guest service and great food.“ Our focus on‘ guest service’ is grounded in the belief that‘ people are not customers’, but rather guests invited into our home,” says Debbie Hosterman, President.“ Also, our employees are the key ingredient to our success and teamwork is the backbone of our business. We take pride in considering our employees as family. Many employees across all seven locations have been employed and loyal for 18 years or more, including all general managers, with Jeanne Welker of the Minerva location hitting 46 years this year.”
