New Greek restaurant opens in Cordova

New Greek restaurant opens in Cordova

Pita Wraps is a Greek and Mediterranean restaurant that opened early this January. But, the owner-manager is not new to the restaurant business.  

This is the third location that the owner , who prefers to go by just Mo, has opened in the Memphis area. The previous locations are under new management, but customers can now head to the Cordova area to visit with Mo.  

He is always friendly and urges new customers to “bite it, before you buy it.”  The food is delicious and healthy and always made fresh for each customer. 

Mo recommends that first-time customers try their specialty, the chicken shawarma wrap.  They also have a great vegetarian option, the falafel and hummus wrap.

This location is at 1425 N. Germantown Pkwy, Ste. 4 in Cordova, TN. Like their facebook page here.  

 

Tennessee senator pushes for beer tax reform

Tennessee senator pushes for beer tax reform

Senator Brian Kelsey (R-Germantown) and Rep. Cameron Sexton (R-Crossville) are proposing to modernize Tennessee's beer tax law, and they seem to have a lot of supporters.

The statewide Fix The Beer Tax campaign began last week in Nashville with a gathering of more than 400 people and resulted in large social media support for the campaign.

Tennessee beer tax in 2008 caught and surpassed Alaska as the top state taxer of beer.

"The current tax policy allows the tax rate to rise unchecked at such dramatic rise that it is now impacting competiveness, economic opportunity, and costs and choice for consumers," said Tennessee Malt Beverage Association president Rich Foge.

There will be a Beer Tax Reform Rally held Friday at the Young Avenue Deli from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
