"We wanted to make it a beautiful place that our crew and our customers could be proud of," stated Mike Sauer, Owner of the Wilmington Skyline, located at 2799 Rombach Avenue.
The Wilmington Skyline location recently underwent renovations for five weeks to redo the restaurant from floor to ceiling. According to Mike, they "gutted the place" to both modernize the appearance of the restaurant and update the equipment. They added large group seating, and moved the host stand for a better flow. The restaurant also made updates to the kitchen, like adding a double fryer to serve customers faster. Mike emphasized the importance of providing "fun, friendly, and fast" service.
Mike took ownership of the Wilmington Skyline location roughly 14 years ago. He shared that he "grew up loving Skyline" and opened his first Skyline restaurant in Centerville, Ohio. When Mike took ownership, Jessie Lanter, an employee from the previous owner was the obvious choice for general manager, according to Mike. The two shared that they believe in the importance of a great crew. Jessie stated, "I feel like the crew here is like a family, and when we're a family, the customers become our family."
The two shared that this value trickles into their social media presence, as they enjoy engaging with the community on their Facebook. Mike stated, "[It's] great to connect with the customers and have fun with it." The store also supports the community through local youth initiatives like church fundraisers, cheer-leading groups, sports teams, and donating to feed-the-team meals.
In addition to drive thru and dine-in, Skyline also offers catering options.
