Residents rally behind local mom-and-pop businesses after news of Chipotle coming soon to Ohio City
CLEVELAND — Ohio City is one of the few places where local businesses thrive, but the mom-and-pop motif on West 25th Street is about to change with the arrival of Chipotle.
“It’s disappointing,” said Sean Doyle, operations manager for Ohio City Burrito.
The new Chipotle will be less than a block away from his store, and will take over the space currently occupied by Soho Chicken and Whiskey.
Ohio City Burrito has been in its current location for nearly 16 years.
“You know, we don’t want to see this turn into another legacy village or, you know, a Crocker Park area where it’s just nothing but big box stores,” Doyle said.
Doyle said he welcomes the competition and doesn’t know what effect Chipotle will have on his business yet.
However, he and other business owners in Ohio City are disappointed to see corporate America slowly move in.
“To me, it’s just greedy,” said Maya Iwais, manager of Pizza Whirl. “You’re a big corporation, your food, your restaurant is found all over the place, and you decide to open up in the area where it’s local businesses, family businesses, just trying to make a name for themselves.”
“I think we were all a little disappointed that Ohio City Inc. didn’t keep the small mom-and-pop motif that it had going on here,” Doyle said. “So now it’s really up to the residents to keep it and support the local businesses.”
News 5 contacted Ohio City Inc. but was told they were not ready to make a statement at this time.
Chipotle also did not return our email asking for comment.
“I know we can’t do anything to stop them, but I think it should stay the way it is,” said Nathaniel Bodman, who works the line making pizza and wings at Pizza Whirl.
Bodman said the allure of Ohio City has been about community and friendships—neighbor helping neighbor.
“Like, if somebody’s down on their luck, they’ll be like, ‘Hey, we got this. We have whatever you need,’” Bodman said, “or, if we need some cheese or something, maybe somebody will be able to help if all the stores are closed.”
Feedback from the community has been strong.
“Even when Chipotle opens up, I’m still going to be coming here,” said Anton Keebler, who has been coming to Ohio City Burrito since it opened.
“Well, I mean, it’s delicious, it’s cheap, it’s affordable, it’s local,” Keebler said.
John Wheelan of Westlake told News 5 that he hopes Chipotle will not hurt Ohio City Burrito, but believes it could help the neighborhood.
“I think Ohio City is growing. [I] think it’s thriving. People are moving into the area. It’s a neighborhood of Cleveland that is improving, and that’s exciting,” said Whelan. “I’m excited that, personally, they’re bringing in a Chipotle. I think it will do great business and be good for the people in this neighborhood.”
The owners of Soho Chicken and Whiskey said they’ll be in business until Chipotle is ready to move in. They plan to reopen and stay in Ohio City but are unsure where.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Ohio State’s game-winning play over West Virginia in the second overtime period Saturday night was simple: give the ball to Bruce Thornton and get out of his way.
The result was an 89-88 double overtime win in the Cleveland Hoops Showdown at Rocket Arena.
It took so much to get to this moment.
The Buckeyes did all they could in regulation to overcome a 14-point deficit, while awaiting their top player in Thornton to come through.
His teammates did the dirty work to keep them in the game. From their defense creating transition points, matching the Mountaineers’ physical brand of ball.
Once extra time came after the first 40 minutes expired, Thornton took care of the rest in the two overtime periods.
He delivered bucket after another.
None more important than the final one.
A tightly covered Thornton took it down to the top of the key before finding a mismatch and looking to take it to the hole. A defender cut off his path, however, forcing Thornton to operate elsewhere in the paint.
Thornton used his pivot foot wisely before finding an opening for a fadeaway jumper and knocking it down.
Twelve of his 21 points came in the overtime periods.
Ohio State fought to the end and earned a win over a hard-nosed Big 12 opponent.
Center Christoph Tilly did his best to limit the Mountaineers’ big men, while adding 14 points and 11 boards of his own.
Freshman big man Amare Bynum was a pivotal spark off the bench with 17 points, eight rebounds and three blocks.
Point guard John Mobley Jr. finished with 17 points and delivered the 3-point shot in the final seconds of the second half to give them their first lead since the 9:00 mark of the first half.
This story will be updated.
