Clay, NY — The Clay Town Board voted ‘no’ to a proposed Tully’s Tenders - a fast-food version of the popular Tully’s Good Times restaurants.
The Tully’s Tenders would have been located at 3567 Route 31, at a busy intersection.
It would have been housed in what used to be Workouts Health Club. That’s between a car wash and the Maurer Funeral Home, just west of the intersection with Oswego Road (Route 57).
The sticking point was the location, said Mark Territo, Clay’s commissioner of planning. A concern of the planning and town boards centered on how people would safely turn left out of the restaurant onto Route 31, which is already congested, he said.
There is no traffic light there, he said.
There is another fast-food Tully’s in operation at 192 W. Bridge St. in Oswego. That one opened in 2022.
Tully’s Tenders is owned by the Giamartino family, who operate about 20 business locations in Upstate New York and Pennsylvania. The company headquarters is in East Syracuse.
