Ground Round Grill & Bar has opened their newest restaurant this week in Huron, South Dakota. The restaurant broke ground last Fall and the new building is part of the multi-business, Wheatgrass Development in Huron, SD. The franchise is owned by Diane London, a local restaurateur, who also owns and operates a Perkins Restaurant in Fort Pierre, SD. The free-standing building, at 2233 Kansas Ave. in Huron, features Ground Round’s newest building design elements and also includes a private room for functions and added seating. Additionally, Huron is opening with a brand-new test menu, which is rolling out in just a handful of the brand’s test locations this month. The entire system is scheduled to roll out the finalized new menu in late Summer.
“Ground Round is a known, casual dining brand, with a unique structure which offers each franchisee ownership in the brand, and ongoing input in the company’s direction,” states Jack Crawford, President & CEO of Ground Round Independent Owners Cooperative, LLC (Ground Round IOC). ” Diane London is a seasoned restaurant operator and we’re delighted to have her join our franchise family, and very excited to see her bring new jobs and growth to the Huron community.”
