Week in Review: Renovatio’s, 20 Federal, Boardman Real Estate
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — Renovatio’s Tap Room and Restaurant celebrated its grand opening April 30 by transporting customers back to the Roaring 20s.
Owners renovated the former Potters Bank and Trust at 200 E. Fifth St. for months before finally opening the building that had sat empty for years. Partners Craig Cozza and Randy Schneider invested $1.1 million on the project.
“We had to make it great. I’m very excited about it. We did everything we wanted to do. You can have a pizza, you can have a burger, you can have a beer, you can have a steak or the most expensive cognac in the world here,” Cozza says. “Because that’s what people want.”
