Wheel in Tamaqua was just about to open in Pottsville
The wheel restaurant chain in Tamaqua and Pottsville is expanding, and the owners of both locations announced their plans for pay increases on their Facebook pages. The plans include raising wages to $15 an hour for the employees of the two locations, and implementing a retirement plan for all of its employees. The new Wheel restaurant has been feeding the local community since September 2016.
Owners of the Pottsville Wheel restaurant plan to open a second location in Tamaqua this summer. The restaurant will move into the former Wenzel’s Bakery location, at 125 E. Broad Street. The site has been designated as a City Revitalization and Improvement Zone, which leverages state tax dollars for the expansion of existing businesses. The business owner will appear before the Tamaqua Zoning Hearing Board in February to get the OK to open the second location.
