SHELTON SCOOP: Arooga's Grill House Closes!

Arooga's Grill House & Sports Bar in Shelton has closed their doors for good, just 2 years after reopening under new management. The restaurant was located at 387 Bridgeport Ave, inside The Market Place.

The restaurant was started in Pennsylvania in 2008. The brand expanded into New England in 2014 with a 15-unit franchise deal with Mohegan Sun. Arooga's opened more locations outside Mohegan Sun, Shelton, Warwick, and Attleboro. All of which have closed permanently.
​
The Shelton location closed and reopened under a new franchisee in 2022, and added sport betting that year. No word yet on what will replace the restaurant.
