Tony Packo's to develop Hungarian village

Tony Packo's is in the process of developing a Hungarian village near its original Front Street location in Toledo. The company recently purchased several properties surrounding the original Tony Packo's for the project. Five or six parcels were torn down to increase parking by about 50 or 60 spots.

Rob Horvath, chief operating officer, explained the driving force behind the project: "These properties became available, and they do not come up for sale frequently - probably less than once every 30 years. It was unique that of all these parcels came up for sale within a year's time. We didn't plan on doing this, but we had to take advantage of it."

From the original Tony Packo's at the comer of Front and Consaul Streets, going along Consaul one block east, the company plans to create what Horvath described as a "mini Frankenmuth, Hungarian-style."
