The Marion Maid-Rite Will Reopen Later This Year – khak.com

A popular restaurant will be returning to its former location in 2020!

According to the Cedar Rapids Gazette, a new Maid-Rite will be opening at 1000Seventh Ave.in Marion at the end of the year. The Gazette reports:

"The restaurant is being brought back by co-franchise ownersJoe Hill, ofSan Diego, Calif., andJamie Hoth, owner ofSelect Construction Inc.in Marion, after its doors closed three years ago."

The new owners originally had plans to open a new restaurant at the location, but eventually decided to bring back the Marion favorite. The former ownerEllie Osborn Riley closed the restaurant back in January of 2017 after 31 years in business, but not because it was strugglingto get customers. She was just looking for a change. Joe Hill spoke to Ellie and her daughters Teri Entas and Nicole Ashby about his plans and says they have been very supportive and given their blessing.

Althoughthe restaurant isstillunder the Maid-Rite umbrella and is going to be located in the same building, there are going to be some changes. First of all,it'sgoing to be gettinga new name.We spoketo co-owner Jamie Hoth this morning, who revealed to us that the Marion Maid-Rite will become the City Square Maid-Rite. The restaurant and restrooms will also become ADA compliant. In addition to those changes, the building will be getting a total makeover, with a potential banquet room and arcade on the first floor. Here's an idea of what it will look like, courtesy of Martin Gardner Architecture:

As far as the food goes, the recipes will stay the same, with the addition of breakfast.The menuwill includeMaid-Rite sandwiches, tenderloins, onion rings, pasta, soup, ice cream, and otherdesserts. Joe and Jamie hope to have the restaurant open in December of this year.
