Pittsburgh Restaurant Chain Expanding

PITTSBURGH, PA — A vacant Pittsburgh restaurant space soon will be filled by an increasingly popular locally based chain.

Primanti Bros. closed its location on Penn Avenue in Garfield in June, saying it decided not to renew its lease there and instated focus on its four other locations within Pittsburgh city limits.

The space soon will become the home of Moonlit Burgers, which announced the impending opening Friday on social media.

Moonlit currently has locations in Dormont, Uptown on the Duquesne University campus and in Sewickley. The restaurant specializes in smashburgers, but also has chicken, chili and salads on its menu.
