Property at the intersection of Fourth Avenue and Premier Boulevard is being prepared for a Hwy 55 Burgers and Shakes restaurant.

No timeline for completion of construction was included in documents filed with the Roanoke Rapids Planning and Development Department.

Site plans call for a 2,405-square-feet restaurant with a drive-through and a 263-square-feet outside cooler. The inside occupancy is 67 people and there will be outside space available for 20.

The site plans have been approved.

Hwy 55 was born out of the former Andy’s Cheesesteaks & Burgers, in which the first under the Andy’s name opened in 1991.

Today, there are more than 130 of the open-grill diners across eight states and two countries.
