Plans to demolish Michael’s Restaurant, after 55 years in business, to make way for a new business was approved at the last Falls Board of Supervisors meeting.
Michael’s Restaurant which opened in 1968 and is located at 935 Old Lincoln Highway will be demolished to make way for a three-story self-storage warehouse building, said officials.
The Falls Township Supervisors granted preliminary and final land development approval to Safstor Old Lincoln, LLC to construct the building on the roughly three-acre lot.
Safstor attorney Julie Von Spreckelsen told the board that the restaurant and a residential structure would be demolished to make way for the storage facility and 28 parking spaces.
The area is zoned highway commercial, which allows for retail, offices, restaurants, and similar uses. The Falls Township Zoning Hearing Board granted a variance during the June 13 meeting to permit the self-storage facility, officials said.
The press release issued by Falls Township makes no mention of when Michael’s is expected to close for good. In response to the confusion created about when the popular restaurant would close, or if it was already closed, restaurateur Michael Galasso corrected the record.
“We are still open. Monday thru Saturday at 4pm. Banquets and Events also. We will be fired up until the last possible day.” Which Galasso said would be “March or April.”
