Tiger's Family Restaurant.
Tiger’s Family Restaurant has announced that they will reopen for takeout next Wednesday, offering a limited grab-and-go styled menu aimed at essential workers and curbside pickup.
“We are introducing multiple grab-and-go bag options for breakfast and lunch, designed for essential workers on the go,” said Carla Kloufetos, who owns the restaurant along with her husband, Dan. “Our daughter, Zoe, is an EMT and firefighter, and she is studying to become a nurse. She helped us come up with this idea as a quick alternative option to a Wawa trip, with the same easy convenience without getting out of your car.”
As an example, Kloufetos said one option would be a breakfast sandwich, a pint of fresh fruit and a drink for $9.50. The orders would then be delivered to the customer’s vehicle via a makeshift drive-through at the restaurant. The limited menu is expected to be posted to their Facebook page in the coming days, and will include some new offerings that the owners said they are very excited about.
The reopening is set for the morning of April 29, and the restaurant will continue to operate in a takeout capacity on Wednesdays through Saturdays from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Though they initially closed following the announcement of social distancing and mitigation efforts, that hasn’t stopped the Kloufetos family from serving their community in other ways. Most recently, they delivered 119 pints of homemade soup to the staff at Abington Lansdale Hospital.
“It always makes us happy to help who we can, and we want to be able to help more in the future,” Carla said. “Thank you to all the essential workers for keeping everything going as best it can right now.”
For the owners, the coronavirus pandemic is just another in a series of hurdles that the business has had to overcome in their 20 years of operation, yet they continue to thrive and attract a loyal base of customers.
“Tigers Family Restaurant has been around for more than 20 years, and has gone through a lot as a business and a family alike; from being kicked out of our first location in Kulpsville, to being forced out of Blue Bell due to a new development, and now losing our ability to serve our community and support our own families due to COVID19,” Carla said. “We just want our customers, our friends, to know that we are always a phone call away, and we will be able to get through this together.
