75 Years! Eat’n Park Creates Smiles with Anniversary Art
To launch Eat’n Park’s 75th anniversary celebration, CEO Jeff Broadhurst unveiled One Of A Kind 3-dimensional commemorative art created by Lawrence Romorini. The anniversary art will be installed in the Eat’n Park Hospitality Group headquarters in Homestead, PA to showcase their history, team members, and accomplishments.
What began as a single restaurant in Pittsburgh, PA has grown to 56 locations across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. Over 35 years, Romorini has collaborated with Eat’n Park on commissions to to honor retiring leaders. “It was a new, exciting opportunity,” said Romorini, “to celebrate the entire 75-year story of Eat’n Park in a lasting legacy.”
Measuring 32” in diameter and 4” deep, the circular collage, framed in silver leaf, features the 75th anniversary medallion as its centerpiece. The medallion rests in front of an Eat’n Park outdoor sign, created in 3D, with a yellow ribbon displaying the “Create A Smile” slogan below it.
Ten accent cubes surround the centerpiece and highlight current brands, products, and innovations. Core values, photoengraved on metal, wrap around the top of the art. Bright colors pop against a white background, visually representing a vibrant work culture.
With photos and artifacts, the collage communicates 75 years of innovation—past and present. Fun 3D discoveries include a miniature carhop tray, vintage Ford Coupe, balloons, Parkhurst fork, basket of fresh produce, and a strawberry milkshake.
At the heart of the art are the people who create the smiles. Photographs of chefs, team members, and the company newsletter capture dedicated workers, some of whom have worked for Eat’n Park for decades. The dedication ribbon reads: “In honor and celebration of our incredible team members, who have been creating smiles for 75 years!”
