The Granola Bar is returning to Manhattan with two new locations on July 9. The locations will serve the brand’s menu in a comfortable setting. The openings will mark the brand’s continued expansion.
The Granola Bar is Opening Two New Locations in Midtown
The Connecticut-based restaurant brand The Granola Bar is making its return to Manhattan. One will be a full-service flagship restaurant on Madison Avenue, while the other will be a grab-and-go concept at 22 E. 43rd St.
The full-service location is located near Grand Central. It will serve breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. The restaurant will also serve classic cocktails alongside its food menu.
According to PRNewswire, Co-Founder and Co-CEO Julie Mountain said the Madison Avenue location was designed to reflect the neighborhood’s fast-paced atmosphere. She expressed the team’s wish to create a place where people feel welcome, can enjoy good food, and receive genuine hospitality.
The grab-and-go concept, called The Granola Bar Takeaway, is designed for customers looking for a quick meal. Both locations will also sell The Granola Bar’s packaged products. This includes its signature house-made granola and snack bars.
Co-Founder and Co-CEO Dana Noorily expressed the team’s wish to make The Granola Bar Takeaway an independent concept. The two openings will now give customers near Grand Central a choice between a full-service dining experience and a grab-and-go option.
