During winter break, Joey’s Place restaurant will move its sandwich shop across Lincoln Avenue into the old Angie’s Pizza building in hopes of attracting more customers.

“I’m just excited to have a better location,” said Mark Grant, Joey’s owner.

Joey’s will move into the 850 Lincoln Ave. building during winter break and will be ready for business Jan. 1. Owners Mark and Winola Grant secured the new building in mid-October and hope the new building and atmosphere will attract more business.

“Some old faces in new places,” he said.

The sandwich shop is currently located at 423 Lincoln Ave. and has been there since it opened 13 years ago, Grant said. The restaurant’s menu will remain the same, but it will have an expanded staff to accommodate the bigger building and expectations of more customers.

The new building has more space for more seating, Grant said, and because of this extra room he expects sales to increase.

“I’m banking on it,” he said.

In addition, the new building holds better parking and easier access to the restaurant, which Grant said should result in more customers.

No work has been done yet to move into the new building. Grant said the move would take place during winter break, so the restaurant will close at a time that would least inconvenience customers.

No permanent plans are in existance for the current Joey’s building, and Grant wasn’t sure what landlord Mike Carlisle has planned for it. However, Grant said ideas for a bagel or coffee shop have been talked about.

Angie’s Pizza, which had been in business at the 850 Lincoln Ave. location since January, closed in September after managers Barbara and Brian Phillips came into financial dispute with owner Paul Coffman.
