The new owner of a South Abington Twp. property, which previously housed several restaurants, plans to consider different uses for the space, but hasn\u2019t ruled out another restaurant.<\/p>\n
Moosic-based 821 Northern Blvd. LLC purchased the property at 821 Northern Blvd. from Clarks Summit-based Goldbrick Investments LLC for $1.65 million, according to a deed recorded Friday in Lackawanna County.<\/p>\n
Michael Ruane II, owner of the Prescription Center on Cherry Street in Scranton, aims to lease the property and said he\u2019s had some initial conversations.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve received a lot of interest already from a range of prospective tenants, including national retailers, medical practices and some regional restaurant operators,\u201d Ruane said. \u201cThe property allows for a variety of permitted uses, including drive-thru service, and I look forward to continuing discussions with interested parties.\u201d<\/p>\n
At least five restaurateurs have occupied the property within the last two decades: Bennigan\u2019s Irish American Grill & Bar, Charlie\u2019s Pub & Eatery, La Tonalteca, Guytano\u2019s Tuscan Chophouse and Echo.<\/p>\n
South Abington Twp. Manager JoAnn Pane said no formal plans for the property were submitted to the township as of Monday, but noted she\u2019s also been contacted by several people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new owner of a South Abington Twp. property, which previously housed several restaurants, plans to consider different…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":315688,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[201,182,139,28,435,178,180,179,6799,289,181],"class_list":["post-315687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-lackawanna-county","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-pennsylvania","tag-restaurants-food-and-drink","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news","tag-south-abington-township","tag-things-to-do","tag-top-stories-stt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315687"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315687\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
