The new restaurant will open a new chapter at the location, after the ill-fated effort by Steak 'N Shake. The "home of the Steakburger" was much anticipated when it opened its doors in Warminster on Jan. 17, 2019.
But the restaurant caught fire just one day after opening to big crowds in a location that, before that, had been a Friendly's. It would be nearly four months before the Steak 'N Shake opened for business again.
