WICHITA — Maher “George” Gerges is making plans to open another hookah bar, this time in Delano.
Maher opened Shesha, a hookah bar at 2628 E. 21st St. near Wichita State University, two years ago.
More recently, he opened a hookah lounge within Doc Howard’s in Old Town and Shesha Tobacco Shop at Towne West Square.
Now, Gerges will open another lounge at 1007 W. Douglas in Delano where ChiArt Studio will leave later this month.
He’s not decided on a final name yet, but Gerges says he’ll incorporate the Shesha name into the new business.
The bar will serve a limited amount of appetizers.
“It’s not going to be (a) big restaurant,” Gerges says.
There will be beer and possibly wine.
“It depends on my crowd,” Gerges says.
Look for the lounge to open by April.
