Melt owner George Paxos plans to open another restaurant in The Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley, and the new restaurant will be where the former Latin fusion eatery, Pacifico, was located, the Express-Times reported Tuesday.
Pacifico closed last week, after nearly six years as an anchor eatery along the perimeter of the Upper Saucon Township lifestyle center.
In addition to Melt, which is located in The Promenade Shops directly opposite where Pacifico was located, Paxos also owns the upscale Blue wine bar and restaurant in Bethlehem Township.
Late Tuesday afternoon, at least one work ladder was already visible inside the closed Pacifico.
The Express-Times story also stated that unredeemed Pacifico gift cards will be honored at two area restaurants: Mesa Modern Mexican in Easton and Tapas on Main in Bethlehem.
