The Return of an Old Favorite

Just leased by Rose Urban of Equity Retail Brokers. Seafood Shanty, LLC leased a 6,800 SF building on a pad site at Broadcasting Square, located at 2713 North Meridian Boulevard in Wyomissing, Berks County, PA. The site was formerly occupied by Mason’s Restaurant. Equity Retail Brokers represented the Landlord, Spring Ridge LP, in this transaction. The restaurant plans to open on February 7, 2012. 

Originally based in Bucks County, Seafood Shanty had outposts all along the East Coast and was famous for their New England clam chowder, bouillabaisse, and a seriously delicious Key Lime pie. Chef James Lesniak will be heading up the kitchen and adding some modern dishes to the menu, including steamer pots, crab leg buckets, and drunken mussels. There will be an extensive raw bar as a centerpiece to the restaurant.
