Several local Steak ‘n Shake restaurants now ‘temporarily closed’

HEMPFIELD TOWNSHIP, Pa. — At least six Steak ‘n Shake restaurants in the Pittsburgh region -- and more than 100 across the country -- are “temporarily closed” as the chain moves toward a franchise-based business model, Channel 11’s news exchange partners at TribLIVE reported.

Most recently, the Hempfield Township Steak ‘n Shake in Greengate Centre closed, joining locations in Frazer Township, Robinson Township, Center Township, Munhall and Pleasant Hills, TribLIVE reported.

According to TribLIVE, signs posted on the doors to the restaurant read: “We have decided to close this Steak ‘n Shake location, which is being designated a Franchise Partner. We will be renovating by installing new equipment to improve our speed and customer service. This location will reopen under new Franchise ownership.”
