The Long John Silver\u2019s and A&W restaurant, 440 Scranton-Carbondale Highway, was demolished this week, but a new one will take its place in Dickson City, borough Manager Cesare Forconi said. He noted the company received a permit to rebuild an updated store with new equipment and new seating at the same location. Forconi added restaurant officials haven\u2019t provided an anticipated opening date for the new store. Forconi recalled frequenting the restaurant as a teenager and looks forward to the reopening. \u201cWe\u2019re happy they\u2019re staying and that they\u2019re able to modernize,\u201d he said. The Long John Silver\u2019s restaurant in Dickson City first opened in 1973, according to Times-Tribune archives.<\/p>\n
