The Village of Mineola board approved the permits for three new businesses – a fitness studio and two restaurants – during a public hearing Wednesday night.

Mayor Paul Pereira and the village trustees welcomed the new business owners to the village and thanked them for choosing Mineola.

Revamp Strength is a private fitness and training studio that will be opening at 178 Herricks Rd. Owner Tadriek Johnson previously worked as a private trainer at a separate gym before opening his own business.

“Our mission is to empower individuals to revamp their lives through strength and fitness while cultivating community rooted in support and motivation,” a Revamp Strength employee said.

The gym will offer weight loss, strength training, athletics training and rehabilitation services. Revamp Strength is focused on individualized and tailored trainings, so private, semi-private and small group sessions will be offered.

The studio will be open from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with the possibility of adding some hours on Sunday, Johnson said.

The owner said he is not looking to pursue any construction on the building, just some light cosmetic work.

The Revamp Strength employee said rubber mats will be installed on the brick walls to mitigate noise issues for neighbors.

Johnson said he is interested in working with local business owners and getting involved in the Mineola community.

The mayor suggested Revamp Strength partner with Mineola High School since the properties are so close.

Alongside the fitness studio, the board approved the permit applications for two restaurants.

Kung Fu Kitchen is a Chinese restaurant that will be opening at 284 Jericho Tpke. Kung Fu Kitchen already boasts multiple locations, including two in Manhattan, one in the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City and a new location in New Haven, Conn.

The owner’s son, Peter Song, is the head chef. Song was an actor in China before immigrating to the United States. He opened the first restaurant in Flushing, Queens, five years ago.

The restaurant has received rave reviews for its steamed buns and hand-pulled noodles, according to its website.

The restaurant will be open from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m., and will extend hours if business is good, Song said. The restaurant will seat 24 customers.

The 15-by-110-foot lot on Jericho Turnpike has been vacant since the pandemic, according to John Ren, the property architect.

Ren said the owners want to build a 500-square foot, one-story extension on the building.

The mayor said the “main concern” for the business is garbage pickup, since the owners will have to hire a private carter to pick up garbage from the rear of the building.

Ikedo is a fast-casual Japanese restaurant that will be opening at 520 Jericho Tpke. Ikedo currently has two other restaurant locations in Port Washington and Carle Place.

The restaurant will occupy a 2,750-square-foot space, and the owners are not proposing any changes to the site or building footprint, according to Andrea Tsoukalas Curto, a partner at the firm representing the owners. The permit application was filed by John Schimenti.

The restaurant will offer hot Japanese food, like ramen noodles, stir fry and buns, as well as bubble tea, Tsoukalas Curto said.

The restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., seat 60 customers and employ between eight and 14 employees, she said.

Ikedo will join the other dining options in the shopping center, including Chipotle, The Rex, Luigi’s and so on.

“This just completes the entire shopping center,” the mayor said.
