October 10, 2025 – Neenah, WI – Cobblestone Hotels celebrated the grand opening and official ribbon cutting ceremony for their new hotel  in Bellefontaine, Ohio.  

Speakers from area organizations dedicated to the development of the city addressed the crowd that gathered at the entrance to the hotel. Among the speakers were representatives from the Logan County Chamber of Commerce, Mary Rutan Health, Richwood Bank, the City of Bellefontaine, and members of the Cobblestone Hotels Development Team. Ben Vollrath, President of the Logan County Chamber of Commerce, reflected on his involvement on bringing Cobblestone to Bellefontaine, and celebrated the fact that while the journey was long, it is now in the hands of the community to support the hotel and help it grow. “This is now on us as a community to fill this place” Vollrath said, encouraging the residents of Bellefontaine to send their families, friends, and business associates to the Cobblestone Hotel & Suites. This hotel will provide lodging for patrons of local businesses and the friends and families of members of the community, and will serve to keep business in Bellefontaine rather than sending visitors out of town during their stay. One such business is Mary Rutan Health and the Mary Rutan Health System, which was founded in Bellefontaine and operates multiple  

campuses throughout the city. On the subject of the hotel, Thomas Denbow, CFO of Mary Rutan Health, noted that “I think it’s just another  proud welcoming for … any of the visitors that are coming to town”, asserting that the Cobblestone Hotel & Suites will be a great asset to the  hospital in the sense of supporting their patients’ families and also providing in-town lodging for the employees that the health system brings to Bellefontaine for work.  

Jeremy Griesbach, President of Development for Cobblestone Hotels, echoed these themes of growth and community, reinforcing that this  hotel in Bellefontaine represents the mission of the hotel brand. “It’s just amazing” Griesbach said, “… to get to small town America, like  Bellefontaine, and see the things you guys have going on in the community and how they’re willing to step up, participate, and what they’re  willing to do to keep their accounts growing and prosperous”. Griesbach’s words reinforce that Cobblestone’s focus is not only to grow as a  brand, but also to support the growth of the communities that welcome their hotels. This location is one of five in Ohio, and the brand hopes  that this opening will be a catalyst for further expansion into the state and into the Eastern United States.
