THE OLD SPAGHETTI FACTORY CLOSES SAN DIEGO LOCATION, WILL UNVEIL NEW CONCEPT THIS FALL SAN DIEGO, Calif. - For 30 years, The Old Spaghetti Factory has been an icon in San Diego. Now, after serving millions of plates of spaghetti and tens of thousands of guests, the restaurant is undergoing a big transformation. On Jan. 2, 2005, The Old Spaghetti Factory located at the heart of the historic Gaslamp district at 275 5th Ave., closed its doors to embark on a major renovation and remodel. When the restaurant reopens late fall, it will be a completely different Mediterranean style restaurant, with an entirely new look, a new name, and a new menu. Part of the reason for the transformation is the change planned for the Gill building itself, the historic building that has been home to The Old Spaghetti Factory. The Gill is being reconfigured, reducing the amount of available space for The Old Spaghetti Factory to about half of the restaurant’s size. According to The Old Spaghetti Factory Vice President of Marketing Chris Hein, that was the impetus behind the idea of a smaller, more intimate style of restaurant. “We have loved serving the San Diego market for the past 30 years, but unfortunately the new space limits our ability to continue to provide The Old Spaghetti Factory experience,” said Hein. “We’re very happy to be able to stay in the area, and we think guests will really enjoy our new restaurant concept, which will be a first for us in the entire nation.” To thank guests and to celebrate the restaurant’s long history in San Diego, the restaurant donated 10-percent of its proceeds during its final week of operating as The Old Spaghetti Factory, Dec. 26 – Jan. 2. Proceeds benefited the Children’s Hospital and Health Center of San Diego. The donation totaled more than $12,000. Fans of The Old Spaghetti Factory will be glad to know that there are other convenient locations in Southern California, including in nearby San Marcos. |
