Longtime gyro shop closes for good
GRAND RAPIDS, MI — A longtime gyro shop in Walker has closed.
Mr. Gyros Drive-Thru & Take-Out, 2260 Alpine Ave. NW, announced on Facebook that Thursday was its last day in business after serving the community for 12 years.
“It’s time for the owner to retire,” the business said on Facebook. “It has been a wonderful 12 years and the owner and his family would like to thank everyone for making this journey memorable. You all will remain close to his heart. It was his dream to open a restaurant and share his love for food with all, and his dream came true.”
The restaurant touted itself as serving “America’s Best Hummus.”
“He started his restaurant journey around the year 2000 with the purchase of Eastown Deli in Eastown from the previous owner. Then moved and opened his own place Mr. Gyros on Lake Michigan Drive. When his kids grew up and moved out of town for their jobs and lives he needed something smaller,” the Facebook post said.
“It’s been about 23 years living this dream with the community. He just wanted to make ends meet enough to pay his bills and share his love with the community. He is fragile and needs to retire.”
The restaurant served chicken gyros, meat gyros, hummus, salad, burgers, hotdogs, pitas, fries and more.
