Another restaurant is opening on Union Avenue in Midtown Memphis. Firehouse Subs will be the latest restaurant to call Midtown home.

Firehouse Subs is planning to be open by mid-July in the same shopping center as FedEx Office and Verizon Wireless. The space is currently being leased by FedEx Office and will undergo renovations to split the current FedEx Office store into two spaces.

Firehouse Subs has a fast casual restaurant concept. This will be the sixth Firehouse Subs to open in the Memphis area. The Union Avenue location will join locations in East Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, on Stage Road in Memphis, and Southaven, Mississippi.

New Greek restaurant opens in Cordova

Submitted by Karen Bray on Wednesday, April 24th, 10:09 am

Pita Wraps is a Greek and Mediterranean restaurant that opened early this January. But, the owner-manager is not new to the restaurant business.

This is the third location that the owner , who prefers to go by just Mo, has opened in the Memphis area. The previous locations are under new management, but customers can now head to the Cordova area to visit with Mo.

He is always friendly and urges new customers to “bite it, before you buy it.” The food is delicious and healthy and always made fresh for each customer.

Mo recommends that first-time customers try their specialty, the chicken shawarma wrap. They also have a great vegetarian option, the falafel and hummus wrap.

This location is at 1425 N. Germantown Pkwy, Ste. 4 in Cordova, TN. Like their facebook page here.
