The Greene Turtle bar & grill to open 1st Pa. location in Montco

Kenneth Hilario Reporter Philadelphia Business Journal
A Maryland-based sports-themed bar and grill chain will finally open its first Pennsylvania restaurant in Montgomery County this year after inking a 10-unit deal for the Philadelphia region nearly two years ago.

The Greene Turtle, a Columbia-based restaurant chain with a "Maryland flair" to its menu, in mid-2015 signed a 10-unit deal with franchisees operating under The Integrity Group name.

The first of those restaurants is under construction now; it's a conversion of a former Uno Chicago Grill restaurant at 1100 Bethlehem Pike in North Wales in Montgomery County.

The 6,500-square-foot, 248-seat Greene Turtle is halfway through its construction cycle, and it's expected to open sometime in April this year, according to Tom Finn, vice president of franchise development.

The Greene Turtle, which first opened in 1976, has 45 restaurants open and operating, with another 51 in development contracts to come on the market in the New York metropolitan area down to the Washington, D.C., Virginia and Maryland region, Finn said.

The company last year moved its headquarters from Hanover to Columbia, Maryland.
