According to owner Eric Rogers, Black Box Fix has permanently closed its Easton location, which is located at 4037 Fenlon St.

“We bravely expanded during a pandemic because we believed in our passion in service and the amazing food scene in Columbus. Unfortunately, we are announcing our closure due to the effects of post covid conditions, especially in the lack of employees for small businesses like ours, which affected this business tremendously,” a statement posted to Black Box Fix’s Facebook page reads.
