Eat'n Park is a restaurant chain with locations in Western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and northern West Virginia. The franchise began in Pittsburgh's South Hills in 1949, with the business model that customers could drive their car and park at the restaurant, while being waited on by waitresses on rollerskates. Today, the franchise has nearly 100 locations, and has become an indoor-dining family restaurant. It is noted for its "smiley cookies," which are circular cookies with white icing and a smiley face drawn with colored icing.
Eat'n Park restaurants are owned by the Eat'n Park Hospitality Group, a private firm. The company has recently constructed a new corporate headquarters, located in the sprawling Waterfront shopping and entertainment complex in the Pittsburgh suburb of Munhall. Due to its huge popularity in urban Pittsburgh, the company has enjoyed many years of profit increases, and they are investing this money in a future expansion into neighboring states.
