Good news! Chuck-A-Burger Drive-In in St. Louis scheduled to close

I wish that I could have test drove the "shakes" when we stopped there last year.

 

awesome! good news indeed... look for the blue shoe, cuz ill be out that way...

 

oh.. you guys need to pm me next time you have a cruise or get together... i missed last sundays... i drove up a little before 8 and saw the sign on the window... grr...

 

SWEET! This is great news!

 

Most excellent man - WTF happened?

 

So, how did you guys get the money to buy the property? Did someone make a generous donation?

 

To make a long story short...

Original owner (my grandpa's partner) still owns the property. He is getting old and after leasing the property to us for the last 20 years he decided to sell it. It looked grim for the past 5 or 6 months. We got an extension on our lease through May to give us time to work a deal. We got word yesterday that the deal went through! So here we will stay. (As long as customers keep buying food)

 

best wishes for another fifty yall!

 

Glad everything worked out!

 

Well in a way. My moms dad (aka grandpa) came up with the down payment. After some scrounging for a way to make it work it we think we will be able to do it.

 

I like cheese burgers.........and fries...........hmmmmmm....I think that "Crown Candy" in the STL may have lost a customer.

 

That's great news! Also put me down for joining the bombers. Hope to see you on May 3rd.

 

That's awesome!!! I get a rare chance to eat there every so often while p***in' through St. L, was sad to see it going. Here's to many more happy years!

 

congrats..... after seeing your post about shutting down, bummed me...even though i've never been there. Glad to hear it, and hope to get a chance to stop in one day...

 

I have never had the pleasure of attending a cruise, or eating there for that matter, at Chuck-A-Burger. I hated when I saw you were closing the old one. Now maybe I can. Congrats on saving it.

 

Thanks everyone!

 

Cool! I will try my best to be out there as much as I can!

 

This is great, we were there at Christmas , at that time the future was still undetermined.

 

ryan! this news has made my day! friggin great bro!
if i were closer, id be there every night man~! till the by p*** anyway!
super damn happy for you guys! long live chuckaburger!

 

Thanks for coming KATFISH.

Hey Todd you can eat all you want (with $)t during the BOMB RUN, you will be there this time right?

 

ill try my besta be bro! things took a turn in my farming career and things might be a bit more on my shoulders then before...but , thats a way away yet! but imma do my breast to make it!

 

Well ***s o.k. I'll give you more grief at the Rust Revival

 

thxs jugs...im lookin forword to it!

 

Hey Breeder, where do you farm at? Dad and I farm ( or scratch around in the dirt and try to avoid rocks ) in western St.Charles Co.

 

far northest corner of mo....right where the des moines river dumps into the big muddy! but my good crop is grown under lamps in our ba*****t...thats where the moneys at!

 

Down here it's to close to the city to risk that, but it does grow good here! If there was a market for rocks and clay, I'd be a freggin millionare. I'm gonna have to make it up that way to the revival, maybe even pop in on a few friends up that way I used to work with.

 

WOW!!!! What a great victory for the good ol American small business man. Hopefully we can cruise up there this summer from Texas to show some support and visit a legend of a place

 

Glad to see this survive! I know you have the other as well, but this version has a lineage! Going 51 years strong!!!! Congrats on that!

 

Thanks!!
