FORKS TWP., Pa. - The old Forks Diner will be serving auto repair customers by early spring of next year.
Dave Fiore and Sherief Elsamra, partners in the Wrenchtec four-bay garage at 20 E. Lawn Road in Nazareth, have acquired the former diner at 3315 Sullivan Trail for $650,000 to open a second location.
Fiore and Elsamra will install six bays at the Forks garage, which covers almost 5,000 square feet.
"Because we were doing well in our first location, we wanted to expand our services to Forks Township," Fiore said in a statement.
He and Elsamra found out about the available location from Kristie Bauder of Iron Valley Real Estate of the Lehigh Valley.
Lehigh Financial Group LLC arranged more than $1 million in financing for the purchase and development of the new operation, called Your Mechanic PA, LLC.
Lehigh Financial Group, based in Allentown, arranges U.S. Small Business Administration loans, conventional commercial real-estate financing, bridge loans and financing for accounts receivable and equipment.
