Shula's 347 Grill is delayed
A Florida-based restaurant chain now says it won't be opening a Roanoke location until next November, which is almost a year later than it initially planned.
Shula's 347 Grill is headed for a spot at the Roanoke Plaza Hotel, which by the end of this year will become the Sheraton Roanoke Hotel & Conference Center. Extensive renovations have been in the works at this hotel off Hershberger Road, and here's my July story with the details.
Shula's 347 Grill is a hamburger, steak and seafood restaurant owned by Shula's Steakhouses. The company was founded by Don Shula, a legendary NFL coach. Several months ago, the restaurant company said it wanted to open Shula's 347 Grill at the Roanoke hotel by the end of this year.
Bill Herman, who is vice president of corporate development for Shula's Steakhouses, did not offer information about why the restaurant's coming has been delayed.
