The Spot closes in Gilbert, Thai restaurant to take over its space

The Spot, a self-described “upbeat neighborhood hangout” on the northeast corner of Higley and Ray in Gilbert, has closed.

The tiny fast-casual eatery, which served sandwiches, salads and flatbread pizzas, had opened in January 2012.

Taking over the two-story space will be Ta Lew Thai Bistro, which hopes to open around Oct. 1.
