Another deli-type restaurant is slated to move into the Monster Subs spot across from City Hall. Monster Subs owner Pete Gambino said that the dwindling revenue from the COVID-19 pandemic forced him to close two of his restaurants, one on Wall Street in downtown Spartanburg and another in Greenville. Gambino said in January he will move out of his location on E. Blackstock Road where he's been since 2013, and relocate to a smaller space on Highway 29 across from IHOP. The move will allow him to pay less in rent for a space with more parking, he said. “We are just going to concentrate on the one store,” Gambino told the Herald-Journal. "I'll be able to cut my rent in half, and that's the name of the game right now."
