Max & Erma's to close original restaurant

The original location of the Max & Erma’s will close in the German Village of Columbus in August.

The restaurant, located at 739 S. Third St., is owned by Glacier Restaurant Group and will close on Aug. 7. The building has been sold to an entity called 739 German Village LLC, according to the Columbus Dispatch. The entity is connected to investment group Stage Capital.

James Blystone, spokesman for Montana-based Glacier, said in a statement that, “After a thorough review of available options, the building could no longer maintain the standards customers deserve. Max & Erma’s brand and other locations are not going anywhere; and the heritage of the German Village Max & Erma’s will be visible and alive at other locations.”
