Redevelopment planned as Lakewood restaurant closes after 45 years

A Lakewood staple has closed its doors.

Valley Inn Restaurant, which served Greek and American breakfast fare, shuttered at 1997 S. Wadsworth Blvd. after 45 years in business.

A site auctioning its furniture and equipment says Valley Inn’s lease ended this month, although public records indicate the restaurant has owned the land for decades. Restaurant ownership did not respond to a request for comment from BusinessDen.

Lakewood city records show a Chase bank branch is slated to be developed by AmCap Properties, a Connecticut-based real estate firm with an office in Glendale. AmCap also owns the shopping center next to the restaurant.

Chase spokeswoman Maura Cordova said the location will open in 2026. AmCap executive Jack Krowl declined to comment, citing that a deal involving the property has yet to close.
