The shop, which specializes in Philadelphia-style cheese steaks and burgers, will retain its original location at 405 S. 2nd St.  There are also plans to establish a new location in the former Pabst bottling house, which is being converted into apartments for college students and an extended-stay hotel.  

The conversion of the building is scheduled to be completed in summer 2016.
