The landlord of the building which until recently was home to Pepito XO Mexican Bistro will soon have a new tenant.
Jeff Fair confirmed to the Shreveport-Bossier Journal Tuesday afternoon that he has signed a lease with David Alvis, owner of the Silver Star restaurants. Fair said an opening date for the new restaurant has not been set, but he expects the restaurant to be in business by the holiday season.
Pepito XO recently closed, and as the Journal first reported September 17th, Fair’s LLC filed a lawsuit against restaurateur Pepito Munoz and Munoz’s LLC, for back and future rent totaling more than $800,000 dollars.
