Steak ‘n Shake unveils new restaurant prototype
The company now known as Biglari Holdings Inc. on Thursday unveiled a new prototype for future Steak n Shake restaurants.
The restaurants will feature a roofline that references the classic Steak n Shake folding hat, along with an open interior featuring a steakburger grill and milkshake stations that are more visible to customers.
The 3,200-square-foot prototype will cost about $1.5 million to build, down from the existing 4,200-square-foot model, which costs $2.2 million. The restaurants still will seat about 100 people. Dining areas will be visible from outside thanks to floor-to-ceiling glass, while lifesize classic photos showing Steak n Shake’s history will adorn the rest of the structures.
With the old-format stores, about 60 percent of the square footage was in the back of the house, including a large office and an employee lounge with lockers. The new versions strip out those amenities.
