Cordelia's Fried Chicken Spinoff Delia's Opens at Rocket Arena

Cleveland – September 28, 2026 -- Rocket Arena, home to the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, has opened Delia's, a fried chicken and JoJo concession stand on its Street Level concourse near Portal 26, timed to the Cavaliers' first preseason home game of the 2026-27 season.

Cordelia's team built a faster, arena-ready version of its East 4th Street restaurant

Delia's comes from three-time James Beard Award nominee Chef Vinnie Cimino and proprietor Andrew Watts, the duo behind Cordelia and ROSY in Cleveland. Rather than replicate Cordelia's full menu, Delia's narrows its focus to crispy fried and grilled chicken, sandwiches called Handys, JoJos and house-made sauces designed for high-volume concourse service.

"Delia's is Cordelia made faster and more casual, but with the same heart," said Cimino, adding the goal was food fans could spot across the concourse and eat quickly without losing the sense it was made with care.

Minwax Launches One-Step Stain and Topcoat for Faster DIY Wood Projects

Cleveland – September 22, 2026 -- Minwax has introduced Minwax One Step Stain & Topcoat, a water-based product that combines wood stain and protective finish into a single application, cutting DIY project time significantly.

The formula skips wiping and dries in two hours

Unlike traditional wood finishing, which requires staining, wiping, and then applying a separate protective topcoat, Minwax One Step is brushed on like paint with no wiping step required. The product dries in just two hours, which the company says helps DIYers finish projects up to three times faster compared to using Minwax Wood Finish Water-Based Stain and Polycrylic Protective Finish separately.
