Steak 'n Shake opening Jan. 9

Steak ‘n Shake will begin serving Hoover this month. The new franchise is scheduled to hold its Grand Opening ceremony on Jan. 9 at 10 a.m. The restaurant is located in the former location of Brother Zeke's Heavenly Barbecue, located at 1817 Montgomery Highway South.

The chain is known for its steakburgers and hand-dipped milkshakes. It offers breakfast, lunch, dinner, late night bites and a kid’s menu.

Although most locations are open 24 hours, Van Crawford, chief operations officer for Steak ‘n Shake’s Central Alabama operation, said the Hoover location will not be open for 24 hours until after the third month, according to company policy.

The new location will be the second in Central Alabama; one opened in Alabaster in August 2012. The chain also has locations in Huntsville, Montgomery and Prattville.
