GREENSBORO, N.C. — Ghassan’s Fresh Mediterranean Eats is permanently closing its 2501 W. Gate City location after 45 years of operation according to a release.
The reason for the closure is due to the coronavirus pandemic. The company said they didn't have enough of a cushion to withstand months of a closure to go along with the costs of reopening the location.
Ghassan's said they look forward to welcoming customers at their Battleground and Cornwallis locations and also hope to reopen their LeBauer Park location when the time is right.
“This was our first location and it is sad to say goodbye”, says owner Khaled Fleihan. “Thank you to the community for welcoming us in 1975 when we opened our first location. It served us well for so many years. We are excited about what the future holds.” As the company continues to grow and evolve, Ghassan’s will invest in other locations in the Triad. We are eager to make new friends by sharing our amazing food and our welcoming service in other neighborhoods around the area. “Greensboro welcomed us so many years ago and closing the West Gate City Blvd location is bittersweet,” says owner May Fleihan. “We are so grateful for what our first location has offered us – a new beginning in this country, wonderful memories, new friends, and the start of a wonderful business.”
