One of the slated locations is the spot formerly occupied by Rickey's Clam House in Yonkers. This is to be a joint effort involving Pepe and the owner of Rickey's.

I knew something like this was in the works after having had a conversation some time ago with Pepe's owner, Gary Bimonte. ... Pepe's vision is coming to fruition.
