Chick'N Cone closes doors in Hamlin

The Chick'N Cone location in Hamlin — at 16016 New Independence Parkway, Suite #11, between Home State Brewing Co. and CycleBar — has appeared to have closed its doors.

One of the three owners of the eatery, Anddy Carmona, has confirmed the closure.

The exterior signage has been removed from the front of the store, and all the furniture is gone from inside the store. Upon calling the restaurant during business hours, the automated voice message states the call cannot be completed. 

The Pennsylvania-based fast-food chain celebrated its grand opening Saturday, July 8, 2023. 

The business was owned and operated by three partners: Dave Sooklal, Mert Smith and Carmona.

In April, Big Lou's Single Wing Express had moved in to share the space. However, restaurant owner Lou Ross, also known as Big Lou who played for the Buffalo Bills, took to Facebook to make the announcement of his business withdrawing from the location on Thursday, May 23.

"Chick'nCone proved to be an unsuccessful business for Big Lou's Single Wing Express," Ross wrote. "We had to withdraw our operations immediately and are no longer present."
