A new restaurant, VinZant, is set to open at the site previously occupied by Houlihan’s. The establishment will be located at 1641 Anderson Avenue in Manhattan, Kansas.
Plans for the New Venue
VinZant is expected to begin operations later this year, according to the restaurant group overseeing the project. The group has not yet announced a specific opening date. Renovations are currently underway at the former Houlihan’s space, which has remained vacant since Houlihan’s closed in 2020.
Background on the Location
The building at 1641 Anderson Avenue was home to Houlihan’s for more than a decade before the restaurant closed its doors in 2020. Since then, the property has not hosted any new businesses. The upcoming opening of VinZant marks the first new tenant at this location in four years.
Details About VinZant
Representatives for VinZant have stated that the restaurant will offer a menu focused on American cuisine. The group behind the new restaurant has not yet released further details about the menu or the concept. Additional information is expected to be provided closer to the opening date.
Community Response
Local officials have expressed optimism about the new restaurant’s potential impact on the area. The opening of VinZant is anticipated to bring renewed activity to the Anderson Avenue corridor, which has seen limited commercial development since the closure of Houlihan’s.
