“Almost a Year in the Making”

WARREN, Pa. – A vision that began 11 months ago came to fruition on Thursday as Lawson’s West End Take Out officially cut the ribbon on their new Pennsylvania Avenue location.

The restaurant has been a staple on Warren’s west end for takeout and delivery for 24 years. The move to 1413 Pennsylvania Avenue W (the former Chiodo’s restaurant building) will allow them to add dine-in and, eventually, alcohol service.

“This has been a long, long process, almost a year in the making,” owner Ian Lawson said. “We’re excited to get going.”

Lawson gave a tour of the new dining room, which will be open from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday – Saturday, on Thursday morning and explained his vision for what the new location will become.
