Mainely Wraps has leased the old Willow’s Pizza location at 1422 Broadway in South Portland.

The owners of the quick-service sandwich shop, Rich and Naphtali Maynard, announced last month they would close their location at 339 Fore St. on Nov. 30, in part because of rising rents in the Old Port.

Willow’s has taken over the former SoPo Bar & Grill Space at 740 Broadway in South Portland, leaving its original location empty.

In addition to lower rent, Mainely Wraps needed a space with better flow for employees. Its Old Port location had two floors, and the kitchen was in the basement. That meant employees had to run up and down the stairs all day to serve customers on the ground floor.

Mainely Wraps also has a location at 360 U.S. Route 1 in Scarborough.
