Wanted: A restaurant tenant for the 6 Degree space that just closed at 222 N. Washington.

Heroes isn’t the only bar in the old town to have closed lately.
On the same day Heroes closed, said Ginny Pearce, CEO of Ted Timsah-owned Commercial Property Services Group, the 6 Degrees bar at 222 N. Washington also closed. This club also occupied property in Timsah.
Now, Pearce said, the company is looking for restaurant tenants for both spaces, and it’s seeing a lot of interest.
Like Heroes, 6 Degrees had been led by partners Husssein Alkasasy, Raed Mansour and Ehab Mansour. The trio took over the management of Heroes in 2017 and launched 6 Degrees the following year.
Pearce said she couldn’t discuss why the two businesses closed, but said Timsah was looking for tenants for the spaces interested in opening restaurants, not nightclubs. In recent years, Heroes – a once-popular sports bar in the Old Town – has focused more on nightlife.
“We’re trying to get rid of all the nightlife maybe trying to get a kind of different atmosphere,” Pearce said.
So far, Pearce said, the Heroes space has garnered interest from national and local dining concepts. And a few locals have expressed interest in the 6 Degrees spot, which was previously home to businesses like The Bullpen and Joe’s Old Town Bar & Grill.
Trevor Stacy of NAI Martens is the listing agent for both properties.
Alkasasy and Raed Mansour did not return messages about the closures. The partners were involved in the takeover of several other Wichita businesses, including Town & Country and The Chalet, both of which closed after less than a year. At least one of the partners, Raed Mansour, is behind the new Clouds Daiquiri Lounge, which just opened in the former Bionic Burger space at 21st and Woodlawn.
I’ll let you know when Timsah finds new tenants for the two Old Town spaces.
