New businesses to open in Peters Township
Two new businesses are open in Peters Township at 3855 Washington Road, with another to open soon.
Einstein Bros. Bagels is already open and ready for business.
“It’s an honor to open the first Einstein Bros. restaurant here in McMurray and introduce our signature fresh-baked bagels, double-whipped shmear and artisan roasted coffee to new guests in the neighborhood,” said franchisee Phillip Rice.
The store is located at the intersection of Washington Road and East McMurray Road in Peters Township, in a newly converted building that will also be home to Noodles & Co., which was set to open Sept. 30, and Great Clips.
As of Sept. 26, all three had occupancy permits issued by the township.
“It’s always a great day when new businesses open in Peters Township,” said Brian Schill, executive director of the Peters Township Chamber of Commerce.
The building has recently undergone an extensive face lift, altering the exterior and interior of what was once a consignment shop and tanning salon, and several years ago, a physician’s office.
“I am frequently told by businesses that although our township has strict guidelines, (the planning department,) and especially building inspector Bill Muzzey, work together with them extremely well to do whatever they can to facilitate the opening of their business,” Schill said.
The Einstein Bros. McMurray location is the sixth restaurant in the Pittsburgh area and the 10th for franchisee Rice.
Another new business is Noodles & Co.
“We are excited to bring our world of flavors to Peters Township, from healthy to indulgent, spicy to comforting, we have something for everyone from kids to adults,” said Erin Murphy, senior manager of communications at Noodles & Co.
The company has more than 400 restaurants in the country.
Currently, there is a Great Clips in Chartiers Valley Shopping Center in Bridgeville. The closest Noodles & Co. is at 28 Old Mill Boulevard in Washington, South Strabane Township. There is another Einstein Bros. Bagels at 1736 Washington Road, Upper St. Clair.
