Another New Restaurant Has Plans To Open At Village At Newtown

NEWTOWN, PA — The Newtown Township Board of Supervisors will consider an application for another new restaurant at the Village at Newtown Shopping Center during a meeting Wednesday.

Solstice — a sub-franchise of Schula's Steakhouse — is seeking conditional use approval to open a 6,700-square-foot restaurant in the shopping center, Newtown Township Manager Micah Lewis said.

In November, the business received approval for its liquor license transfer. The liquor license was transferred from the Warrington Bertucci's, which closed in 2018 after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The application to be considered Wednesday is for the restaurant use, Lewis said. The restaurant will be located in a new building along Durham Road that is currently under construction, he noted.

According to the chain's website, Shula's operates numerous restaurants across the country, including in Florida, Ohio, Arizona and beyond.

If approved, the restaurant would be one of many new additions to the local shopping center. A drive-through Starbucks opened this spring, and Melt Shop opened this week. There's also plans for a Chipotle and MOD Pizza.
