It's still struggling to recover from the pandemic and hopes a 'rebirth' will help it survive.
with the goal of raising $50,000 dollars to keep the restaurant afloat and to pay for various expenses and necessities. With over 500 donations, it was able to collect $40,000, but that still wasn't enough to help it recover after a steep decline in revenue following the return of indoor dining in 2021.
By May, Oblio's only had enough money to pay the next month's rent, and with heavy hearts, co-owners Morgan McKay; her mom, Dawn; and sister Tegwin began planning their goodbyes. But, Morgan explains, the Oblio's crew just wouldn't go down without one last fight. After a few late-night brainstorming sessions, the team had a new dream: rebranding. For years, they'd heard the community comment about Park Hill's lack of"a good bar and grill," Morgan recalls. So now the team is hoping to step up to fill that void. With plans for a new menu and interior design, Oblio's is aiming to become the next hip spot for neighborhood.with the goal of raising $16,000 to make the rebrand a reality.
In its time of need last year, the Park Hill neighborhood banded together to provide the restaurant the means to stay afloat. But business remained slow, leading Morgan and her family to realize that high-priced pizza just wasn't working anymore in a neighborhood that has three other pizza joints. As of now,"it's a total fifty-fifty chance we'll have to shut our doors," Morgan admits, adding that the family hopes that the community will have their backs as they try to navigate this change.Oblio's Pizzeria is located at 6115 East 22nd Avenue and will remain open during the fundraising effort from 5 to 8:30 p.m. daily.
