LIBERTY TWP. <\/p>\n
Pies & Pints, not your average pizza joint, is the first restaurant tenant to be announced for the future Liberty Center. <\/p>\n
The pizzeria, with arguably the best craft brew program around revealed plans Friday to enter the Cincinnati market with the Butler County location. Co-owner and President Rob Lindeman said the five-restaurant and growing pizza business has signed a lease at the mega retail center. <\/p>\n
Liberty Center, in the early stages of construction in Liberty Twp., is the name of the approximately 1.4 million-square-foot mixed-use shopping, office and residential complex planned for the intersection of Ohio 129, Interstate 75 and Liberty Way. Its scheduled to open in September 2015, according to developers. <\/p>\n
We have an executed lease and will be going into the project when it opens, Lindeman said. <\/p>\n
Were a small mom-and-pop company that really prides itself on high quality, great tasting pizza, he said. We try to provide the most flavorful, most unique pizza. <\/p>\n
Liberty Center is being built by Columbus-based developer Steiner + Associates, the same developer of Easton Town Center in the Columbus-area and The Greene in Beavercreek. The projects first phase is expected to be a more than $300 million investment encompassing 65 acres. <\/p>\n
Its being developed by one of the premier developers in the country, Steiner. Weve known those folks for a period of time. They saw the product in Worthington, liked it, and we got a great location in the center, Lindeman said. <\/p>\n
Pies & Pints was founded in 2003 at original storefront Fayetteville, W.Va. The craft pizza and beer venture has since expanded to Charleston, W.Va.; Morgantown, W.Va.; Worthington, Ohio, and Beavercreek at The Greene. Lindeman said a sixth restaurant is opening this year in Lexington, Ky. <\/p>\n
The Greene location opened in August 2013. The yet-to-open Liberty Center pizza place will be comparable to the nearby Dayton-area restaurant with 60 to 65 full- and part-time employees, Lindeman said. Pies & Pints at The Greene has seating for approximately 150 people, and sells 22 bottled beers with 35 rotating beer taps. A similar size restaurant and offering can be expected in Liberty Twp. <\/p>\n
