The manager of marketing and communications for Gyro Concept, Savvas Priftis, is anticipated to open its second site in the Lehigh Valley in late December at 2722 Easton Ave. in Bethlehem Township.
The new Gyro Concept facility on a soon-to-be-renovated property will take the place of Johnny's Gyros, which shut down in late summer after operating for more than 30 years. It will complement a second Gyro Concept location in the Lehigh Valley that opened in March at 323 Cattell St. in the College Hill neighborhood of Easton.
The Gyro's being the most popular item on the menu, including falafel and vegan options.
Gyro Concept’s plant-based offerings include sandwiches such as a vegan gyro (with plant-based protein, fresh tomato, fries, lettuce and red pepper hummus) and bowls such as a vegan kabob bowl (plant-based kabob on bed of rice with dolmas, huge beans and red pepper, drizzled with hummus). In Bethlehem Township, Gyro Concept will take over the soon-to-be renovated location of Johnny's Gyros, a family-run eatery renowned for its Greek fare.
The Easton Avenue property was put up for sale or lease in the summer.
Constructed in 1960, the standalone building has 20 inside seats with tables, chairs, and bar seats in addition to a drive-thru for takeaway service. Adjacent to the parking lot is an outdoor seating area as well. Johnny’s Gyros were up for sale with a price tag of $700,000, which included the business name, furnishings, fixtures, signage, and equipment, according to an internet listing. The lease was signed on Friday.
The owners and everyone involved in the creation of Gyro Concept can't wait to bring Greek food into the Lehigh Valley area!
