Melt, A Grilled Cheese Chain, Gets Approval For Newtown Shop

NEWTOWN, PA — An application for a Melt restaurant at the Village at Newtown shopping center has been approved by the Township Board of Supervisors.

The popular New York-based grilled cheese shop's conditional use application for a restaurant at 2822 S. Eagle Road was approved during a meeting Wednesday. An opening date is not yet available, Melt representatives told Patch.

Melt has an existing store at the King of Prussia Mall, as well as locations in New York, New Jersey, Delaware and at the Mall of America in Minnesota.

The menus vary by location, but all include an array of savory sandwiches with creative combinations. Dishes on the menu at the King of Prussia location include chicken melts, burger melts, maple bacon grilled cheeses, salads, milkshakes, and house-made chicken tenders.
