A new Mediterranean restaurant has opened up a series of three locations to replace former Simple Greek locations in Boardman, Niles and Hermitage.

Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh in Niles at 2389, Niles Cortland Rd. SE, in Hermitage at 2431 E. State St. and in Boardman at 1993 Boardman-Canfield Rd. are all open to the public. 

A ribbon-cutting event took place at the Boardman location Thursday morning. 

Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh is part of WOWorks, a parent company of restaurant brands that also include Saladworks, Frutta Bowls and The Simple Greek. WOWorks CEO, Kelly Roddy says she's excited to have the company introduce its brand to Ohio and Northwest PA. 

"It's both humbling and exciting to expand our brand and its fresh, healthy and flavorful menu into the Mahoning Valley," Roddy said.
