Ribbon Cutting at Goonie’s Dog Shop at 3:30pm on Thursday, June 20 at 33473 Lake Road
06/17/2024 – On Thursday, June 20, at 3:30pm, Goonie’s Dog Shop, the new business in the historic plaza at Beach Park Station – Stop 65, will celebrate its opening with a ribbon cutting.
Goonie’s is a take-out only restaurant owned an operated by the team from Edacious, which opened last summer just east of Goonie’s. The menu features hot dogs, brats, lobster rolls, french fries, and milkshakes.
Business owner Andrew Gorski remembers how the concept came about: “Goonies got started because my partner and I always loved being able to grab a hotdog late night at Steve’s Lunch in downtown Cleveland after getting out of work late. We thought it would be nice to one day have a little hot dog shop. The menu is straight forward: hot dogs, fries, & milkshakes. With Edacious right across the street we thought it would be good to open because of how close we are. It is another much needed food option here in Avon Lake. People can expect friendly staff, quick service and good food. We believe there are other concepts that would fill a void here in Avon Lake that we are working on as well. Goonie’s is a great addition for all guests.”
Andrew and his team are very aware of the historical significance of the small building that is now the home of Goonies. Early in the 20th century it was the oil house at Beach Park Station, which was used for storing oil, grease and other flammable materials used at the Beach Park Station of the Lake Shore Electric Railway.
The City of Avon Lake is excited to welcome Goonie’s as its newest business and is very grateful for the entrepreneurial energy of Andrew and his team. “A year ago, Andrew and his partners opened Edacious and it has become a favorite spot in town. The fact that they are opening their second Avon Lake restaurant is remarkable; we are very lucky to have them. Both of their restaurants are in a historically significant area of Avon Lake, and it is great to see the City’s west end have these two new destinations.”
