Shenandoah University acquired the property at 816 Millwood Ave. (formerly the Bob Evans restaurant) on Aug. 23, for $1,045,000, from Bob Evans Farms, LLC.
The property is adjacent to the university’s main campus and sits behind the University Inn residence hall. It became available after the Winchester Bob Evans location, along with 20 other Bob Evans restaurants across the country, closed on April 24.
The university community has been invited to offer suggestions on how to best utilize the property. For the time being, parking spaces are available in the former restaurant’s parking lot for those who have a valid RED or BLUE Shenandoah University parking permit (students, faculty and staff). Only the former Bob Evans parking area will be RED and BLUE permit parking. All other parking spaces surrounding the University Inn remain designated as RED permits only (students).
