SANDUSKY, Ohio (WJW) — Another Melt Bar & Grilled location in Ohio has closed its doors.
Cedar Point confirmed to FOX 8 News that the operating agreement between the restaurant and the amusement park had expired, and a spokesperson said, “We have mutually agreed not to renew.”
The Melt location inside the park opened in 2017.

Melt announced the closure of at least four other locations, including Dayton’s Fairfield Commons shopping center, Canton’s Belden Village shopping center, along Rockside Road in Independence and along Detroit Road in Avon.
Owner Matt Fish previously cited post-pandemic challenges as part of the chain’s decision to scale back operations.
“…We believe that having a smaller footprint and returning to the roots of our hometown of Cleveland is extremely important at this time,” read a statement announcing the first two closures last year. “This is a very difficult decision for many reasons, but ultimately this decision will put the company in a much better position for continued success.”

Cedar Point said there were no immediate plans on what would replace the location inside the park.
