The Tribune-Democrat first reported details on new eateries coming to the city, a delight for Johnstowners who have become jaded by the lack of dine-out choices in town.

Darden Restaurants’ liquor license transfer request was OK’d by the Richland school board in November.

Now, unused land in Richland Township will be home to an Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse. The next closest locations are 45 and 40 miles, respectively.

Liquor Control Board statutes require that any license transfers to land adjacent to school district property must be approved by the school board.

Darden assured the board that only the two well-known franchises would be built on the land and, if either were sold, it wouldn’t be to a nightclub or a bar.

Sweet Frog Frozen Yogurt, described as a self-serve yogurt shop where customers “grab a cup and fill it up,” is set to open next to Five Guys Burgers and Fries in the Richland Town Centre on March 1.

It was an opportunity that the franchise stumbled upon. Sweet Frog’s creamy confections are made with Galliker’s products. When a Galliker’s executive suggested a Johnstown location, the empty space in the Richland shopping plaza was viewed as a perfect opportunity.

Sharon-based chain Quaker Steak & Lube brought its combination of wings and wheels to the University Park Plaza in mid-September, making it the first location within 70 miles of Johnstown.

“We’re community-driven,” said Pete Haas, the restaurant’s general manager. “People have been ready for us – and we’re ready for them.”

• Five steps to ward off business fraud

  Business fraud is everywhere. It can range from employees pilfering small items from the office to embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars.

• MICHAEL MacDOWELL | GM makes it big second time around

  In April 2010, General Motors Chairman Ed Whitacre announced that GM would pay back $8.1 billion in government loans. It was greeted by cheers from employees and no doubt from U.S. treasury officers as well. Of course, much of the $52 billion loaned to General Motors by the federal government – and the $1.4 billion loaned to General Motors by the Canadian government – has been converted to stock, which you and I as taxpayers own. This may be a good investment, for it appears that General Motors has learned its lesson.
