The estate of The Geator, Jerry Blavat, announced some very good news today.
The iconic Memories in Margate is poised for a triumphant reopening just ahead of Memorial Day Weekend 2024.
Memories in Margate (corner of Madison and Amherst Ave) is renowned for legendary parties hosted by Jerry Blavat.
Philly.com: Memories, which opened in 1972, had been closed and offered for sale since Blavat’s death in January 2023.
After a thorough application process, the Estate of Jerry Blavat has entrusted Teddy Sourias and his Craft Concepts Group to carry on the tradition of Memories.
The Memories property on Amherst Ave will be redesigned and renovated.
The next chapter as Memories in Margate will live on, transitioning to new ownership under the stewardship of Philadelphia Restaurateur Teddy Sourias, alongside two esteemed silent partners from our local community.
We are deeply gratified that Memories will continue to flourish under Teddy’s capable leadership, even as we fondly recall the indelible imprint left by Jerry Blavat.
With Teddy’s distinguished portfolio, we are confident that Memories is in capable hands.
Memories has been a cultural cornerstone, welcoming celebrities, athletes, music icons, and Jerry’s loyal friends and fans, thereby becoming an integral part of Jersey Shore lore.
Memories in Margate will be ready for a soft opening prior to Memorial Day Weekend 2024.
Who are the local partners?
Connected to our city officials??
You’ll do great Teddy!! Thanks!
