While the restaurant property has been sold, the BK franchise continues to operate.

The land had been the home to a car sales lot before plans for the new restaurant were approved in the spring of 2017.

The franchisee for the site is TOMS King, a company which operates more than 130 restaurants in Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Virginia.
