North Macon restaurant closes its doors

A “Sorry Closed” sign greets would-be customers at Steak n’ Shake on Tom Hill Sr. Blvd.

Tables have been cleared and signs have been taken down from the building near Interstate 75 between Riverside and Northside drives.

Although an employee from another nearby store thought the restaurant was closed for remodeling, the company’s website no longer lists Macon as a franchise location.

Warner Robins and Locust Grove are listed as the closest locations.

The Macon Mall restaurant closed a few years ago on Mercer University Drive.

Efforts to contact the company for more information were not immediately successful, but one Steak n’ Shake worker said after he was originally told the building was closed for remodeling, he was notified the store was closing for good late this week.
