Domino's is packing up its downtown Columbus shop on 342 E. Gay St. and heading a few blocks south to 386 E. Main St., shifting the national chain off the increasingly construction-heavy Gay Street corridor and onto East Main. Local franchisee Brian Edler, who also runs Flyin Brian's Pizza, is expected to operate the new location.
The relocation plans were laid out on May 22, 2026, in a report by Dan Eaton for Columbus Business First, which detailed the downtown store’s move from East Gay Street to East Main.
WhatNow had first reported back in January that Domino's was planning a downtown East Main location at 386 E. Main St., noting that Edler would be at the helm. Local outlet 614Now later spotted permit filings tied to the space, confirming that something new was indeed cooking there.
How Downtown Projects Are Reshaping Storefronts
The timing of the move lines up with major work on East Gay Street under the $100 million Capital Line project, which involves utility relocations and a block-by-block redesign that could influence where ground-floor businesses choose to set up shop. Columbus Navigator has outlined Phase One work along East Gay Street through 2027, from stabilizing underground vaults to planned streetscape upgrades.
What Was In The Main Street Space
Before Domino's came calling, 386 E. Main St. housed Way Down Yonder Beignets & Coffee, which has since closed, according to Columbus Underground. Permit records and local reporting put the Domino's build-out in the low six figures, suggesting a relatively modest conversion suited to a quick-service pizza format, 614Now noted.
No Firm Opening Date Yet
There is still no announced opening date, according to WhatNow, and Domino's own online store directory continues to list the downtown location at 342 E. Gay St. Columbus Business First's coverage did not include a timetable or comment from a corporate spokesperson.
For downtown workers and residents, the relocation is one more sign of churn along the Statehouse corridor as city projects, new retail, and shifting foot traffic reshape who is serving slices on which corner. This story will be updated if an opening date or official comment is released.
