Chicken Manor History
Continued from the home page...
Augie officially retired in 1988 handing the business over to his son Danny who agreed to take over the family business. Mario, his second son, was a guidance counselor in the Kent school district and worked at the restaurant on the weekend and for a time after he retired from teaching. Mario officially hung up his apron in 2008. Frank, his first son, owned the Chicken Manor in Kent, Ohio.
Today Danny runs the business and is lucky to have his son, Greg, working there too. Three generations and still going strong. The proliferation of chain restaurants, fast food places and economic conditions sadly has driven many of the locally-owned restaurants out of business, but Chicken Manor has weathered it all and is proud to be one of the oldest restaurant in Stark County. Both Augie and now Danny after him have been so very blessed to have had, and still have, so many wonderful people working along side of them over the years several of which are pictured in snapshots posted here on the Web site. A heartfelt thank you to all of you past and present…you are the lifeblood of Chicken Manor.
As with many things, the best is saved for last. Chicken Manor has been successful because ofthe many, many wonderful customers who have come and gone over the five plus decades. Three and even four generations of some families come in on a regular basis. People who have moved away make their pilgrimage back to Chicken Manor when home visiting family and friends. It’s not uncommon for people to pick up a carri-out on the way to the airport to take a little bit of home back with them. It’s that kind of loyalty that keeps Danny and his staff going. THANK YOU to all of our customers past and present for enabling us to continue Augie’s aim; to give people a lot of value for a little price.
