I think the Raffle Brothers kids went to Ohio State back in the early 1970s. So, at least there was some connection back then, and it was an Ohio chain, but all that is long gone.
I think it is just a shame that every one of those national brands that started in Columbus in the 1960s now seems to be gone from town. When they closed the store across from the old COSI location, the writing already seemed to be on the wall.
Well, it added a lot of wealth to central Ohio over the years and good luck to them. Let's hope some other local businesses fill the gap.
