The Beachwood Truck Park Has Closed

Before the Lakewood Truck Park even opened for business Dan Deagan began making plans to export the concept to the east side in Beachwood.

That operation on Chagrin Boulevard in an old fire station debuted in 2022.

But while success was easily found in Lakewood, Beachwood didn’t quite draw the same amount of traffic despite a similar setup of indoor/outdoor bars, plenty of umbrellas, picnic tables and a rotating roster of food trucks supplying snacks and meals.

And now the Beachwood Truck Park has closed for good.

“We tried for two and a half years,” Deagan told Scene. “It didn’t take off the way that Lakewood did. I also think that Covid affected us as well. We were doing the permitting and build-out towards the end of Covid, which led to higher prices and supply chain issues. And we ended up opening four days after my fire. So I couldn’t even be there for almost the first six months of it being open.”

With Deagan’s other projects — Wolf & Co. in Bay, Wine Dive, an upcoming golf simulator bar — there’s also less time to go around.

“I opened two new places in the last six months and I’m opening two additional places in the next six months means I just don’t really have the time to put into it anymore,” he said.
