Hotel to replace Hereford & Hops

The vacant Hereford & Hops building along 228 won't be around much longer. The Pittsburgh Business Times reports that a firm has bought the building and land and will replace it with a hotel.

A newly created firm called Templar Development LLC has an agreement to buy the former restaurant’s building and six acres along Route 228. It plans to develop a four-story, 129-room Cambria Suites limited-service hotel.

Templar is paying between $4 million and $5 million for the property, said Mark Veon, a vice president of leasing with the Downtown-based company.
Hereford & Hops filed for bankruptcy protection last December and eventually closed this past May.

Wonder who bought the brewing equipment... It would of made one hell of a home brewery if I only had the cash.

Just what we need another hotel. How about a Red Lobster, Outback, Popeyes, Taco Bell etc? Too bad Rock Bottom didn't buy it and keep the brewery open. What a waste of a great place. I miss Hereford and Hops.

Red Lobster, Outback, Popeyes, Taco Bell, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Arent people in this area sick of chain restaurants. I have been completely let down by the selection of garbage chains in Cranberry. I miss the South Hills and the independent quality restaurants....Amel's, Il Pizziola, and Armstrong's...
