AVON — An Ohio restaurant chain is getting ready to open its first location out of Ohio in Avon.
Swensons Drive-In sells burgers, milkshakes and several other food items.
Meals are served carside and the restaurant will have no dining room.

The restaurant is hosting a start-of-construction cookout Aug.15 from 5-7 p.m. in the Costco parking lot, located at 8816 Dr. Charles Nelson Drive. The first 100 people will receive a free "Galley Boy" double cheeseburger.

The restaurant will be located at 8894 US Highway 36 and is set to open this fall.
Swensons Drive-In opened in Akron, Ohio in 1934 and has several locations throughout the Cleveland/Akron area and Ohio. The Avon location will be the company's first outside of Ohio.
