- '''2001 Club of Rochester''' was a 15,000 square foot disco nightclub built in an old W.T. Grant store location on ["Chili Avenue"] in the town of ["Chili"]. The club first opened its doors on April 21, ["1978"] and closed in ["1989"]. When it was first built, it was the biggest disco club in the Rochester area. The club was part of a nationwide franchise, "2001 Clubs of America", started by a Pittsburgh PA entrepeneur, Tom Jayson. The Rochester club was owned and built by three Meadville PA businessmen: Norman "Corky" LaBruzzo, Carl Lynch and "Spider" Zuccharo. After having built similar succesful locations in Meadville PA and Jamestown NY in 1976, the trio expanded to the Rochester location in 1978. The cost to build the club was pegged at $450,000 and it made that investment back in less than 6 months!	+ '''2001 Club of Rochester''' was a 15,000 square foot disco nightclub built in an old W.T.

One of the bars had the DJ booth built in the middle of it and was surrounded on the back side with a balcony area. This balcony had sofas and couches rather than the normal table and bar stool setup in the rest of the club. The club had 12 screens mounted on the walls which featured a slide show presentation to kick off the evening's dancing.

The club was sold in May of 1987 to local Rochester owners and it ceased operation in 1989.
