A breakfast and lunch restaurant will close in Whitehall Township only for the team there to begin a new chapter soon after.
Griddle 145 announced it will close Wednesday at 1146 MacArthur Road.
“This place has been more than a restaurant — it’s been part of our lives, and part of yours,” the restaurant said online. “We’ve watched families grow, friendships form, milestones celebrated, and routines become traditions. For that, we are endlessly grateful. Closing this chapter is emotional. We’re sad to say goodbye to these walls, deeply thankful for the memories made here, and incredibly excited for what’s ahead — all at the same time.”
The kitchen and front-of-house team will move to the new restaurant The Broken Record at 6776 Hamilton Blvd., Unit 1 in Lower Macungie Township, where its menu will include many Griddle 145 dishes.
Griddle 145 said breakfast service there will begin in early January, but Jeff Trainer, who will co-own The Broken Record alongside Andrea Kenney, said they still need to get township approval to open at 8 a.m. instead of 11 a.m.
The Whitehall restaurant opened in 2012 under Taylor and Sherry Eisenhard.
