An official confirmed a location would open on Slide Road after the business signed a lease in July for the recently razed Fuddruckers location, but would not answer further questions at the time. Fuddruckers moved from Slide Road in December 2023 and reopened in January 2024 at 6616 Milwaukee Ave.
