Thom Coffman once owned two restaurants, a popular bar and had dreams of building and owning a hotel and condominium complex. Two years later, his empire is down to his flagship Clarmont restaurant in Columbus.
The restaurateur’s Grandview Heights-area dining spot, Thom’s on Grandview, has gone into receivership and closed, while other development plans remain stalled by the economy. A Franklin County Common Pleas Court judge appointed Gryphon Asset Management LLC as the restaurant’s receiver.
