By 1975, the growing restaurant
community in the "Queen City" already
hosted Ted Kluszewski's Steak House,
and Johnny Bench's Home Plate. But
Cincinnati still had an apatite for
"Pete Rose's Restaurant" at 3360
Westbourne Drive. A second Cincinnati
eatery, "Pete Rose Champion
Restaurant," held a Grand Opening
Weekend, May 5th to May 7th, 1978 at 155
Northland Blvd.
Festivities included; Free Soft Drinks with Every meal, a pair of box seat
tickets to a reds game, given away
every hour, each child received a free
autographed picture of Pete Rose with
every meal, and the Grand Prize, four
box seat to a future Reds game and
dinner for four with Pete Rose after
the game compliments of Pete Rose
Champion Restaurant.
The following year, Pete Rose was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies. A
name change from "Pete Rose Champion
Restaurant" to the "Champion
Restaurant" followed. When Pete Rose
went to Philadelphia, the business went
with him. A 4 foot by 20 foot neon Pete
Rose signature outside the restaurant
was given away through a newspaper
contest... By sending in a postcard
telling in 25 words or less why you'd
like to have "THE WORLD'S LARGEST PETE
ROSE AUTOGRAPH."
