Anyone know what restaurant is moving into the spot were Ground Round used to be? The spot by Wyoming Valley Mall, across from Pier One, etc? Please let it be something different!!!

It's not going to be a restaurant, it's going to be a training center for one of the local banks. It was in the paper a few months ago.

I read the paper too. What I remember was that GroundRound was a failing business, nationaly, because the menu was drab and lacked variety. Since it's a franchise, the owner had little control over what he could do. He decided to open a pub(?)-restaurant called '570' in honor of our local area code. I suppose I could be confusing this with another location, but I don't think so. Now you need someone to be a tiebreaker.

In Wilkes-Barre Township, a restaurant that closed on Mundy Street is being renovated for a different purpose. The closed Ground Round on Mundy Street is being renovated as a training facility for First National Community Bank.

I think you might be confusing this with another location. The former "Bennigans" on Rt 209 in Marshall's Creek changed its name to "Pub 570" a number of months ago when the owner could not make menu and other changes he wanted to make because Bennigans is a franchise.
