Last central Ohio Zoup closes, with Peruvian sandwich shop to open in its place

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – While Zoup recently shuttered its last central Ohio eatery at Easton, a Peruvian sandwich shop will soon open in its place. 

Si Señor Peruvian Sandwiches is set to open at 4189 Weaverton Lane this winter. Zoup, the former tenant of the space that rebranded to the name Z!Eats in the spring, closed last month. The Easton Z!Eats was the chain's last location in central Ohio, with the eatery facing four local closures in 2023. 

Si Señor’s new Easton restaurant will mark its third location. The restaurant has an eatery in Grandview Heights, which opened in 2017, and the Arena District, which opened last year and also took over a former Zoup. However, Si Señor first opened in 2010. The eatery once had locations across the city, but closed all but its Grandview Heights store during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The restaurant serves sandwiches inspired by the cuisine of Peru, featuring slow-roasted meat on Ciabatta bread. Menu options include a Latin Style Chicken Club, a Criollo Fish sandwich and homemade chips. 

While a spokesperson with the restaurant said it does not have set operating hours yet, they did say the Easton location will be open daily for lunch and dinner.
