Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
One of the many great things about Steak n Shake: the fact its locations are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Only, not so much, turns out: A day after recording substantial losses, Steak n Shakers told analysts during a conference call that it's looking to save a little dough by turning out the lights early in some markets -- including, yup, you guessed it:
The Indianapolis-based franchise is testing the idea of limited hours in its stores in Tampa, Grand Rapids, Mich., and in select Dallas stores.
Executives said they will begin to expand this program selectively in coming fiscal quarters.
No word on the potential Dallas owners. But, seriously, when do we get a White Castle, anyway? Because that tastes amazing at 3:14 a.m. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
