Elkins Park Square (also known as Elkins Park Plaza) at 8080 Old York Road in Cheltenham Township has been sold and a new restaurant is in the works, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

An area resident wrote to The Inquirer regarding window coverings at the former Marco Polo Ristorante & Bar, which closed for good in September 2023.

The Inquirer’s response:

The shopping center, Elkins Park Square at Old York and Church Roads, was sold earlier this month. The buyer, a local investor who is keeping a low profile as the sale has not yet hit Montgomery County records, is planning a new restaurant on the site of the long-closed Marco Polo restaurant, but I’m told it won’t be a Marco Polo. Stay tuned.

More to come.
