Work on new Steak N Shake to begin within days
-With permits just about wrapped up and a fresh design concept in hand, look for work on the new Steak N Shake to rise on the Johnny Carino's site on Turner McCall to begin with a few days.
-Developer Wayne Robinson, who's in a partnership with Brook Temple on the project, says the Rome location will be the second store overall to feature the new restaurant design.
-The new shops are 3,200 square feet. "Dining areas will be visible from outside thanks to floor-to-ceiling glass, while lifesize classic photos showing Steak n Shake's history will adorn the rest of the structures," according to a story in the Indianapolis Business Journal (click).
-One change: Look for Steak N Shake to open by early fall and not the tentative July date.
