Popular York soul food restaurant is moving to site of the former Blue Moon

A popular downtown restaurant will be moving to a larger location.

The owners of Skillet2Plate, Lauren and Terrence Days, recently purchased 361 W. Market St., York, which is the former Blue Moon restaurant.

Lauren Days said the move is an effort to rekindle “the essence of our restaurant’s origins” by “returning to the style we initially embraced.”

“Our foundation was rooted in a delightful dine-in experience, characterized by a warm and inviting atmosphere. Although we commenced our journey at our present location with a vibrant dine-in clientele, it swiftly became apparent that it did not fully cater to our expanding scope of services,” she said.

The Blue Moon opened in 2006 and was owned and operated by Darrell and Janine Tobin. It underwent a 20-seat, $400,000 bar renovation in early 2018, but by December of that same year it was closed.

Days said that they are currently doing renovations to the restaurant to “revive it to its former glory.” They are doing “a complete repaint, with many of the original colors being reintroduced. New art pieces and strategically placed televisions have been incorporated throughout the space, with a particular emphasis on enhancing the dining room and indoor courtyard.”
