Willows Pizza will be taking over the former SoPo Bar & Grill space at 740 Broadway in South Portland, according to The Boulos Co., the commercial broker handling the deal.

SoPo Bar & Grill had been at that location since 2014, but suddenly closed last week. David Lengyel, owner of Willows Pizza at 1422 Broadway, said he will re-hire as many SoPo Bar & Grill employees as possible and expand his staff from 18 to 30 employees. He’ll also be expanding his menu by serving steaks, burgers and some of the other customer favorites from SoPo Bar & Grill.

Lengyel has owned Willows since 1989. The new Willows is scheduled to open in early November, and its old space at 1422 Broadway is now up for lease.
