Big changes are coming to the Wayne shopping center that currently houses ACME (a.k.a Wayne Square). The space that once held Eckerd/Rite Aid will be split into two retail spaces, one of which will become Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza, a Florida chain restaurant that is partially owned by Dan Marino. This appears to be their […]
South Philly Italian bakery Carangi Baking Company has recently opened at 1556 Lancaster Ave. in Paoli, bringing a wide variety of freshly-made breads, pizzas, stromboli and other Italian specialties to the ‘burbs.
Michael Klein reported earlier today that WIN Signature Restaurants, who just opened Azie on Main upstairs and Parker’s Prime Steakhouse in Newtown Square (to go along with several other restaurants they already own), will also be renting out the lower part of Maia. The concept will be American-style comfort food/bar aimed at a younger crowd: […]
About a month ago, we posted that Saxby’s had closed their Malvern location. Now, the fast-expanding Colorado Conshohocken coffee shop chain has taken over the Rt 30 building in Paoli that is currently branded It’s a Grind. Don’t expect any service outage — the staff is saying the same, and the coffee and cups have […]
Philly.com recently reported two possible Tiffin locations coming to the Main Line in the near future. A lease has been signed for a space in the Wynnewood Shopping Center (projected December opening). Owner Munish Narula also says he has a verbal agreement for an undisclosed space in Bryn Mawr (Blush perhaps?) The original Tiffin in […]
The Saxby’s on Rt 30 in Malvern has been replaced by Venice Pizza & Pasta, a traditional Italian joint. Plenty of different pizzas, pasta dishes and hot & cold sandwiches area available. Though we haven’t had the pizza, it looks like very good Italian-style thin crust. Because the building is rather large, there is plenty […]
Frazer favorite Cupcakes Gourmet will be adding a second location in Gateway Shopping Center (which supposedly in Wayne, but is really more like Berwyn or KoP, depending on where you are coming from). It will be located on the short side of the strip mall, somewhere in between Panera Bread and Outback (closer to Panera). […]
Former Taquet chef de cuisine Clark Gilbert will be opening Gemelli, an Italian-American BYOB in the former Margot location at 232 Woodbine Ave. in Narberth. Expect the menu to be focused on simple, inexpensive fare. Update: Gemelli’s scheduled open date is 9/29/09.
We just picked up a new rumor on the Freehouse space (11 N. Wayne Ave.): Apparently the deal with JD McGillicuddy’s has fallen through; in place of the Pub mini-chain, a Mexican restaurant will be the new tenant. Is it Johnny Cabo’s II? Another Coyote Crossing? We’ll post more details as they come to light. […]
In many ways, Wayne has become the flagship Main Line town. It has perhaps the most defined “town center”, with walkable streets, ample parking, and an eclectic mix of businesses. When one thinks of great areas to go out to eat on the Main Line, Wayne surely jumps to the top of anyone’s list. Recently, […]
