For the Scott family it's all about creating a welcoming atmosphere. Roma's Italian Kitchen provides a variety of Italian dishes along with the character and welcoming atmosphere that Scott Enterprises destinations are known for.

Scott Enterprises has long been a cornerstone of the Erie community, and as such, they continue to innovate and look to bring new experiences to the region. Two of their latest ventures, Sola Salon Studio and Roma's Italian Kitchen, stand as shining examples of Scott's commitment to new ideas and community enrichment.

 

Sola Salon Studio:
Empowering Beauty Professionals

"Sola Salon Studio emerged from a vision to provide a place for beauty professionals to take the next steps within their journey of running their own small business," says Nick Scott Sr., president and CEO of Scott Enterprises. As a studio for all facets of the beauty industry, including hair stylists, massage therapists, and even tattoo artists, Sola Salon Studio differentiates itself by allowing these professionals to remain independent while also fostering a supportive community. In essence, Sola offers customizable spaces where these individuals can be their own boss while clients have a convenient one-stop-shop location to tackle their beauty-related needs.

"We have received great feedback from the professionals who have moved into our space," Scott continues. "They have expressed that while the leap to go independent can be scary, they felt comfortable going with Sola and have received great support from our Sola team."

Roma's Italian Kitchen:
A Taste of Italy in Erie

Of course, if Scott Enterprises is known for anything, it's likely the memorable dining experiences they've brought to Erie – so a new Italian kitchen concept should pique the interest of connoisseurs in the area.

"The Scott family has been wanting to open an original Italian restaurant in Erie for years," says Scott. "After speaking with employees and with community members, they heard that there was a stronger desire for an Italian spot rather than a Quaker Steak & Lube location, which was the plan as of September of 2023."

Seeing the number of sports bars in the area, Scott Enterprises decided it was time to offer something different and unique to the surrounding area. Roma's Italian Kitchen provides "a variety of Italian dishes along with the character and welcoming atmosphere that Scott Enterprises destinations are known for." Features like a warm fireplace, a full bar, and a wall of wine makes Roma's the perfect place to celebrate any occasion with family and friends.

"The Scott family and our chefs have studied cookbooks from Italy as they are crafting their recipes. Roma's is being brought to life by the same team that opened Oliver's Rooftop here in Erie, and they are providing the same detailed attention to bring the menu to life," says Scott.

Crafting Memorable Experiences with Scott Enterprises

At the heart of Scott Enterprises' mission is a commitment to supporting local initiatives and fostering connections within the Erie community. Sola Salon Studio and Roma's Italian Kitchen serve as more than just businesses – they are gathering places where individuals can come together to connect and celebrate the vibrant spirit of Erie.

Looking ahead, the vision for businesses like Sola Salon Studio and Roma's Italian Kitchen is one of continued growth and excellence. Sola will serve as a hub for beauty professionals and their clients while Roma's will delight guests with its exquisite cuisine and welcoming ambiance, respectively setting the stage for unforgettable working and dining experiences for years to come.

Scott Enterprises' dedication to community engagement and culinary excellence shines through in every aspect of these new businesses, reaffirming its status as a driving force in the Erie business landscape.
