It’s been common knowledge for months that the old Gino’s Sports Grill wasn’t going to reopen and has been up for sale. It hasn’t hosted customers since the end of 2021, and has had issues since the Spring of 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
Demolition began today, and at this point, it sort of looks like the pandemic hit the Gino’s building itself. Genty Aerial Photography was able to get a few still shots from the sky as it happened.
The Saline County Assessor’s records show this property was sold on June 24, 2022 for $656,928. Annnd… I wish I could share more information with you right now about what’s coming next for this property, but we’ll have to wait to tell you on an upcoming date. Meanwhile, speak up in the comments about your memories of this restaurant and the ones that came before it in this spot. I personally remember when my brother worked as a delivery boy for a Sergio’s Pizza in the late 1980s when Serge Krikorian ran it. Here are more before pictures (by Shelli Poole) and after pictures (by Genty Aerial Photography).
