Swensons Drive-In Eyeing New Location in Strongsville

The Cleveland-area cheeseburger news just keeps getting juicier, as Swensons Drive-in is considering opening yet another of its restaurants on the west side, this time in Strongsville.

The Akron-based eatery (and LeBron James favorite) is eyeing a parcel of land on Pearl Road owned by Strongsville City Schools. The school district is currently deciding if Swensons is the right choice to lease the spot. At a meeting earlier this month, the board reportedly weighed the facts and asked Swenson’s executives to prepare a letter-of-intent to be presented at a later date.

Another new westside Swensons location is currently under construction and is slated to open in North Olmsted hopefully by July.

No word yet on when a Swensons will open downtown Cleveland or a nearby neighborhood. In the meantime, there are currently eight other Swensons locations to get your fix.
