Chef Gina Bertelli’s Andio Sisters operation is getting ready to trade its Local Roots pop-up digs for a permanent downtown Wooster home later this year. Buildout has already started at a space on West Liberty Street, and the team plans to serve its final regular Monday lunch at Local Roots on May 11. While the new storefront is under construction, Andio Sisters will keep the catering side humming and roll out its Hey Chicky Eats truck for the spring season.
New downtown address
According to What Now Columbus, Andio Sisters is planning a brick-and-mortar spot at 150 W. Liberty St. in Historic Downtown Wooster. The article notes that a post on the Scanners of Wayne County Facebook page pegs the opening for “later this fall or winter,” and that work on the interior is already underway.
Where they operate now
For now, Andio Sisters is sticking with its established routine of serving hot Monday lunches out of Local Roots, and it lists 140 S. Walnut St. as its contact address, per Andio Sisters. The same site highlights the Hey Chicky food truck and catering services as key parts of the business. Customers are invited to call or email the team to line up events and orders, according to the site.
Downtown interest and community support
Main Street Wooster has already put Andio Sisters on the radar as part of its Ten Weeks of Tasty promotion, a signal that the concept is catching local attention. YourOhioNews quoted Main Street project manager Kerri Kiel as saying the Wooster community is open to welcoming new operators. The promotion slotted Andio Sisters into the downtown calendar and pointed diners toward its grab-and-go menu and truck appearances.
Timing and transition details
What Now Columbus reports that Andio Sisters has circled May 11 for its last Monday lunch at Local Roots, with service scheduled from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The outlet also notes that the Hey Chicky Eats truck is expected to return in May. According to the same report, the publication reached out to owner Gina Bertelli for comment but had not heard back by press time. If everything moves ahead as described, the shift will take Andio Sisters from a pop-up and market footprint to a full-time storefront presence.
Who occupies the Liberty Street address now
Right now, 150 W. Liberty St. is listed as home to Salsaroja, based on a downtown dining guide from the St. Paul Hotel. That listing indicates the address already hosts a restaurant, and current reporting has not clarified whether Andio Sisters would succeed Salsaroja at that location or move into a separate suite. At the time of publication, we were unable to confirm any lease or ownership changes at the property.
Where to find updates
The Andio Sisters website and social channels lay out current locations, menus and booking information, and they remain the best bet for up-to-date truck schedules and any changes to hours or offerings. Andio Sisters also lists direct contact details for catering and event requests while the Liberty Street buildout continues. We will update readers if the owner or property representatives post formal confirmation of the planned storefront.
