Waffle House Eyes Vestavia Lot For New Location

VESTAVIA HILLS, AL — Vestavia Hills may be home to a new Waffle House restaurant, according to a report by the Birmingham Business Journal. The report said Waffle House is eyeing property on U.S. 31 for a new store.

Waffle House wants to build the new restaurant on the old Motor Lodge property owned by Larry Maddox, but an agreement to forgive half of a lien placed on the property must first be approved next week, the BBJ report said. The deal between Maddox and Waffle House has not been finalized.

The existing Waffle House on Columbiana Road will remain open. The Vestavia Hills City Council is expected to vote on the agreement with Maddox at the January 13 meeting.
