Geraci’s Restaurant marking 65 years with Greater Cleveland Food Bank donations

PEPPER PIKE, Ohio – Geraci’s Restaurant is marking 65 years in business by giving back to the community.

From Thursday, July 1 through Wednesday, July 7, the Pepper Pike restaurant will donate 6.5% – an appropriate touch, eh? – to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank.

The restaurant will have promotions and prizes all week, and is open for dine-in and takeout.

The Pepper Pike restaurant, at 29425 Chagrin Blvd., opened almost three years ago. Its other locations are the original one at 2266 Warrensville Center Road, University Heights, and 6687 Wilson Mills Road, Mayfield Village.

Greg Spoth and his wife, Marti Geraci Spoth, own the restaurant. Marti’s parents opened the restaurant July 2, 1956.
