what's new

It's finally here!

After seven months of closure and construction, our BRAND-NEW Collier Township Eat’n Park is open on Washington Pike! Back in April, we knocked down the old location — built in 1956! — and replaced it with a new and improved building in the same spot!

Eat’n Park Project Manager Rachel Cooper says it’s been so much fun to watch the area go from rubble to restaurant. 

“From moving out almost 9,000 cubic yards of dirt to pouring the slab, it’s surreal,” says Rachel. “Even seeing it now, it looks so amazing!”

What’s New at Collier Township Eat’n Park?

The brand-new space includes an expanded back of house for team members, better parking, a Pickup Window, and. . . . *drum roll please*. . . the return of the Salad Bar, which has been closed for nearly five years! Eat’n Park not only brought it back, but they also made it better. The new Salad Bar is now double-sided to serve more guests!

General Manager Elliot Feschuk says there’s a lot that goes into building a restaurant from scratch, and he would know — he’s been with the company for 24 years, starting as a dishwasher at 15 before going to culinary school and working his way up to GM through Eat’n Park’s Management Training Program.

“There are things you take for granted,” says Elliot. “You look around and think, ‘I guess we have to order the little pie signs!’ Everything is new! And we’ve hired so many great new team members. A lot of times you hire one or two at a time, and we were able to hire 60!” 

Yep, 60 NEW team members! Rachel and Elliot believe both new and returning team members will love the new back-of-house setup. 

“Sandy, one of our long-term team members, cried when we closed, just because of the history,” says Rachel. “I saw her yesterday, and she was in happy tears. She’s so excited she has this space to cook in and be proud of in Collier Township, so she can make new memories.”

“The team members are ecstatic!” says Elliot. “The old back of house was   not user-friendly and a lot to work around. The new one is much more spacious!”

Salad Bar, Pickup Window, and New Parking at Collier Township Eat’n Park

When it comes to amenities guests will be excited for, Rachel and Elliot agree the Salad Bar is something to behold. 

“Anyone who has stopped by, from vendors to construction, they always mention the Salad Bar!” says Rachel. 

“The old one was hidden away in the back of the corner,” says Elliot. “This one has so much more room for guests!”

Another perk for guests is the parking lot. The old parking area was a bit intense and narrow; this one is perfect for takeout and busy guests on the go. 

“It’s so much more convenient for families,” Rachel. “The layout of the parking lot flows much better to get in, get out, and get through the Pickup Window!”

Most of all, both Rachel and Elliot are thrilled for what the Collier Township Eat’n Park will bring to the community.

“There aren’t a lot of family restaurant options around here,” says Rachel, “and Eat’n Park wanted to invest back into this community with an updated restaurant for families. After all, where else can kids leave with a free Smiley Cookie?”
