Bethlehem Township, PA – After more than 30 years as a beloved fixture in the Lehigh Valley food scene, Johnny’s Gyros is now officially for sale. The iconic quick-service restaurant, located at 2722 Easton Ave, is listed for $700,000. The sale includes the business name, as well as all furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and is being represented by Lynne Kounoupis and Niko Kounoupis, licensed agents with RE/MAX Unlimited and LehighValleyListed.com.
Known for its hearty gyros and welcoming atmosphere, Johnny’s Gyros has long been a favorite in the community. Its Greek-inspired menu—featuring gyros packed with shaved meat, tzatziki sauce, and fresh tomatoes—attracted loyal patrons who appreciated its fast, no-frills service. Locals also enjoyed a variety of comfort foods, from burgers and hot dogs to Greek classics like baklava.
The announcement of the restaurant’s sale has stirred emotions among fans. Adrienne, a longtime customer, reminisced about visiting right before the restaurant closed for vacation in July, saying, “It was such a popular place, and the gyros were awesome. We were looking forward to their return after Labor Day.” Dana, a customer for four decades, added, “This is devastating news. I’ve been going there for 40 years! Best wishes to a wonderful family. Your gyros were the best around!”
Others echoed the sentiment. Jason commented, "The gyros were the best in the Valley!!!" while Wendy expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thank you to Johnny’s for your wonderful food and giving us a special place to take our kids. Best to you! We will miss you!”
Built in 1960, the 1,073-square-foot building offers indoor seating for 20, outdoor seating with picnic tables, and front and rear parking lots. Situated in a bustling area with 17,000 vehicles passing daily, Johnny’s sits near major chains like Wendy’s, McDonald’s, KFC, Dairy Queen, and Dunkin'.
While the community mourns Johnny’s potential closure, some have noted the challenges that small businesses face. Charles remarked, “Another fine local establishment gone. One by one, they disappear. It’s sad—all the mom-and-pop places seem to be closing up.” Boots added, “Bidenomics is working,” referencing the economic challenges businesses have faced since the Biden-Harris administration took office.
The future of Johnny’s Gyros remains uncertain, but its sale offers a rare opportunity for a new owner to either carry on its legacy or launch something new in a prime location.
