Wichita’s Greystone didn’t survive COVID, but a new restaurant is planned for its space
Over the weekend, the owners of Greystone at 9719 E. 21st St. announced that they had closed the 5-year-old restaurant for good.
But on Monday, they shared better news, confirming rumors that they’re planning to open another restaurant concept in the same space.
They’re not sharing details yet, but people who have gift cards to Greystone will be able to use them when the new restaurant concept opens, said Lauren Irwin, who is the corporate officer for John Arnold’s A&M Management Group.
Irwin said that Greystone, which had several private dining rooms, was designed to entertain large groups of diners and just couldn’t survive COVID-19. It’s been struggling since the pandemic started, she said.
“Greystone was a beautiful store,” Irwin said. “The special moments we shared with people such as engagements, weddings, showers, and family reunions were very special to us. The kind words over the last few days have been greatly appreciated.”
She said they were going to “work quickly” to get the new concept up and running.
Greystone’s last day was Friday. A&M Management Group also owns Deano’s Grill & Tapworks, Oak & Pie and Stearman Field Bar & Grill in Benton.
I’ll keep you posted on the plans for the new restaurant.
