Owner decides fate of Uncle John’s Pancake House

TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - Uncle John’s Pancake House’s owner Sal Tubeileh has decided to move the restaurant.

Tubeileh tells 13abc the decision was “really tough, but in order to preserve Uncle John’s and keep it in the community, because it’s apart of the community there’s no doubt about that, I have to bring it to the 21st-century.”

Over the weekend, Tubeileh decided with 100% of his employees’ support to move the location of the current restaurant.

He says although the location will be new, “the prices will be the same, the atmosphere will be the same, and the staff will be the same.”

Staff 13abc spoke with are excited for a fresh start with “more efficient parking and a better working environment,” said employee Selena Christopher.

Tubeileh is looking at several new locations, all of which are within a mile of the current location. He is hoping to open the doors of the new restaurant March 31st.
