A. Schulman has been a staple on West Market since 1972, and now it's time to expand.
A. Schulman has made Fairlawn its corporate headquarters for the last 40 years, and it has plans to stay here for a while longer. At Monday's City Council Committee of the Whole meeting, representatives from A. Schulman, a $2.5 billion global plastics supplier, announced it would stay in Fairlawn and relocate to the new Corporate Park at the corner of Ridgewood and Cleveland-Massillon roads. Vice President Gary Miller said the company has grown substantially since 2009, having made five acquisitions in the past three years, the newest one being earlier this year. The new building will be the cornerstone of the corporate park, he said. It will sit on 4.6 acres of land that the company bought for $560,000. It will be a one-story, 34,000 …

After two years at the Ghent Road location, owner Susan Mozingo decided it's time to grow.
Editor's note: This story was updated on 4-16-2012, and took out a portion of the story that was inaccurate. Regency Wine, 115 Ghent Road, is on the path toward expanding into the former Distinctions building, said proprietor Susan Mozingo at Monday's city council meeting. Council supported her decision to go forward with the expansion and to construct Fairlawn's only wine bar. Mozingo offers wine tasting, and has a permit for that, but not to serve. "I'm planning to have the wine bar open by summer," Mozingo said. Mozingo is still working out the details, but she hopes to seat between 35 to 40 people and offer a food menu. Mozingo wants her customers to be able to hold special events at the bar. "There's nothing like this in Fairlawn …

Fairlawn officials have decided to nix the concrete barrier until the court decides whether it is legal.
The concrete barrier that would block Rothrock Road at Sawgrass Drive starting April 10 has been put on hold, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. Copley Township officials filed an injunction last Friday against Fairlawn and Mayor William Roth that would stop the barriers from going up, but Roth said nothing will go up until the court deems it legal. Read more here.
The Fairlawn staple isn't going far, just down the plaza.
When Lucky Shoes President John Luck weighed his options at the end of his Fairlawn Town Centre lease, leaving Fairlawn never crossed his mind. Instead, he agreed on moving from the west end of the plaza to the east end, gaining 2,000 square feet and new brands in the process. Luck and his father Tom Luck, Lucky Shoes owner, plan to host a low key grand opening on April 13. The new store will feature more clothing options, as well as new shoe brands, John Luck said. "We're primarily a comfort shoes store," Luck said. "We'll have new brands of comfort shoes and we're trying to appeal to (teens) more with Vera Bradley and a new brand of shoe." Luck said the buzz generated around the new store location has been amazing. Luck said what sets …

Mayor William Roth gave his State of the City Address at Monday's council meeting.
Mayor William Roth had nothing but good news at Monday night's council meeting, where he gave his State of the City Address. He originally gave his speech two weeks ago at a Chamber of Commerce lunch, so we're going to bring it to you again, in the condensed version. • City revenues were up 6.2 percent higher in 2011 than 2010, which puts the city back on 2008, pre-recession levels. • City officials were able to renegotiate contracts with city unions and insurance companies to include a zero percent increase in health care benefits. This will save the city $100,000, Roth said. • For the third year in the row, Roth and city council have managed to set this year's budget at 2 percent less than the year before. Roth said he realizes it's …

I think Five Guys and Aladdin's are in Bath rather than Fairlawn, which is too bad because I'd put them higher on the list. But to be proper Fairlawn, I'd replace one of them with Rockne's and the other with First Watch or The Rail. more ›
