Huntington, West Virginia – Long John Silver’s marked the finish of a multi‑month renovation at its longtime downtown restaurant, located at 5644 U.S. 60, with a small ceremony hosted by the Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Upgrades bring a fresh look and feel
The updates include a fresh coat of paint, new exterior signage and a brand‑new roof, giving the building a cleaner, more inviting curb‑side presence. Inside, the fast‑casual chain installed brighter lighting, updated décor and nostalgic nautical touches that recall the brand’s maritime heritage, creating a more welcoming atmosphere for families and diners.
Renovation completed with minimal disruption
Unlike many remodels that require a full closure, the Huntington restaurant stayed open for the majority of the construction period, allowing regular customers to continue enjoying the menu of seafood and chicken classics. The management team added several new crew members during the project and introduced a new manager to oversee daily operations, reinforcing the chain’s commitment to the local workforce.
Long John Silver’s national revitalization effort
Long John Silver’s, a national chain with more than 50 years of service, says the Huntington renovation is part of a broader initiative to revitalize its locations across the United States. The company hopes that refreshed venues will attract new patrons, support local economies and reaffirm the brand’s place in communities that have relied on its affordable, family‑friendly meals for decades.
Community response
Attendees at the celebration, including local business owners and chamber members, praised the renovation as a positive sign for Huntington’s downtown corridor. Giveaways were handed out, and many expressed optimism that the upgraded restaurant will draw additional foot traffic to nearby shops and services.
With the refreshed look now complete, Long John Silver’s invites Huntington residents to experience the updated dining environment while enjoying the familiar menu items that have made the chain a staple for generations.
