The massive King Corona project that was planned to open this past fall now officially won’t happen.

Nathan Taylor, a King Corona co-owner, said they won’t rule out a future restaurant in Hamilton.

“Unfortunately, we decided to go in a different direction,” he said. “With all that is going on in the restaurant industry, building a $3 million project in an area that’s not fully developed was a very risky move.”

He said he and the other owners “decided to part ways” with Spooky Nook Sports Champion Mill and “wish them nothing but success.”

In October 2023, the ownership group that planned to open what they called a “massive” restaurant — they said it would be two-story, 14,000-plus square-foot venue — that would be three times the size of their West Chester Twp. restaurant that opened in December 2023.
