Donatos opened a location in Strongsville, Ohio this week. It's owned and operated by franchise partner Lane Avenue LLC, and will be Avenue's sixth Donatos location in the Cleveland market, according to a press release.

"Strongsville has always been a cornerstone of the Greater Cleveland area," Shwetabh Gautam, franchise partner with Lane Avenue LLC, said in the press release. "This has particularly been demonstrated over the last year with strong growth in retail and new businesses in the area. We are so excited to bring Donatos back to Strongsville and re-introduce a brand that the community knows and loves."

One of the hallmarks of Donatos is giving back in the communities they serve. Lane Avenue LLC will continue this tradition and is looking to form local partnerships that will positively impact and benefit the Strongsville community.

"It's exciting to be able to continue to expand the brand in the Cleveland market," said Kevin King, President of Donatos. "In just a short time, the Lane Avenue franchise partner group has worked hard to grow their other five restaurants since joining the Donatos family, and we look forward to big things in the Strongsville community with the addition of this new location."

Donatos operates more than 431 traditional and non-traditional locations in 27 states.
