What is the top-rated fast-food chain in America? It's not Chick-fil-A

Crumbl Cookies may be closing locations, but things are looking a little sweeter for Jersey Mike's. The sandwich chain knocked Chick-fil-A from the top of the fast-food customer-satisfaction rankings, ending an 11-year streak. Jersey Mike's debuted at No. 1 in the 2026 American Customer Satisfaction Index , edging Chick-fil-A by one point. The ranking comes as restaurants face tougher competition for increasingly cost-conscious customers. Here's what helped Jersey Mike's take the crown and where to find the chain in Ohio and Kentucky. Why is Jersey Mike's ranked higher than Chick-fil-A? Jersey Mike's earned a score of 84, topping Chick-fil-A at 83 and emerging as the new leader in customer satisfaction among fast-food chains. The ranking is based on 16,464 customer surveys conducted between April 2025 and March 2026. Chick-fil-A remains the top-rated chicken chain, but Jersey Mike’s stood out for freshness, menu variety and value, the report said. The chain added 238 locations in 2025 and reached $4.2 billion in systemwide sales. The report notes the sub chain has maintained quality while expanding rapidly.

One Ohio Marketplace Combines a Massive Indoor Shopping Center With an Outdoor Flea Market

A hardware store, a Fiesta dinnerware shop, and rows of outdoor flea market tables all share one property. That combo alone made me stop and look twice. Inside, a big building holds dozens of shops, bakeries, and food counters. Outside, open-air vendors set up with produce, collectibles, tools, and plenty of things nobody needs but everybody wants.

Ohio oil and gas incidents on the rise, new data shows

As Ohio residents continue to push for stronger oversight of oil and gas waste facilities, a new analysis showed more than 2,500 oil and gas blowouts, explosions, toxic leaks and other incidents between 2015 and 2025. The report, released by FracTracker Alliance and Buckeye Environmental Network, combed through 10 years of Ohio Department of Natural Resources records. Gwen Klenke, Midwest program coordinator for the FracTracker Alliance, said state regulators have not stayed on top of tracking and following up on incidents. "Inspectors who look at these oil and gas incidents or look at the oil and gas wells are just really overburdened. It would take them roughly two years to check on every well," Klenke explained. More than 1,200 incidents involve the release of toxic substances, which could pose public health risks, given oil and gas-related fluids, in particular wastewater, may contain toxic PFAS and high levels of radioactivity. Klenke pointed out in January more than a dozen state oil and gas rules will be up for review. Environmental groups are calling on legislators and state regulators to tighten up regulations, given the history of gaps in public reporting and oversight. "Because if this agency can't even handle the tracking

Historic Lancaster shoe factory reborn as 60-unit luxury apartment complex

LANCASTER − The former Fairfield Shoe Company building at 219 N. Columbus St. is no longer just sitting and deteriorating. It is now a 60-unit luxury apartment complex with the retail set to open later on the first floor. The building is now called The Shumaker because of its past as a shoe factory and city's German history. It also once housed the Essex Wire Company. It sat vacant for about 20 years before Urban Restorations converted it into the apartment building loaded with amenities. The second- and third-floor residential units are complete, so work is now focused on making the ground floor suitable for commercial tenants. The project cost is around $20 million or so. Some history The building's last occupant was Fairfield Industries, then a division of the Fairfield County Board of Developmental Disabilities. It moved out of the building in 2005 and the building had stood vacant until the renovation started in 2023. The building dates to between 1900 and 1910 when it was originally the Fairfield Shoe Company. The Essex Wire Company bought it in 1947. Urban Restorations President Bob Schilling previously said the building's industrial look will be built into the renovation, which it was.

Asbestos cost dispute leads Coshocton land bank to change contractors

COSHOCTON − The Coshocton County land bank is moving asbestos removal work on two demolition projects to a different contractor after obtaining estimates that could save more than $26,000, prompting a dispute with the company originally awarded the jobs. The work will be completed with funding from the Ohio Department of Development. At its August meeting, the land bank awarded seven demolition projects to Land Clearing Specialists. The company later hired Aster Oilfield Services of Bellaire as a subcontractor for the work. More: Land bank reviews bids for 10 property demolitions across Coshocton Co. Aster came back with a change order for three structures related to asbestos removal. Asbestos work estimates were $21,440 for 55668 Township Road 154, $13,246 for 28099 County Road 12 and $12,944 for 28009 Township Road 281. Tiffany Swigert, director of the Coshocton Port Authority and land bank board member, said the size of the asbestos change orders prompted the land bank to seek a second opinion. Estimates from Ohio Technical Services were $6,200 for Township Road 154 and $2,400 for County Road 12. The company has not issued an estimate for Township Road 281 yet.
