MILTON — Noticing something different on Caroline Street? Perhaps it’s the sudden disappearance of the long-standing Waffle House. Well, not to fear, Waffle house will be coming back with a new look.
The Waffle House unit #377 was built in the 1970s and was due for an upgrade, according to a representative from the Waffle House headquarters.
“The rebuild should be done within a few months pending weather, permits and inspections,” the representative said.
Pat Warner, Waffle House spokesman said that the target date for reopening the restaurant is sometime in October.
Waffle House opened in 1955 in Avondale Estates, Georgia by Joe Rogers Sr. and Tom Forkner. According to their website, they are famous for their menu of breakfast items, best known for the signature waffle and chili. Both founders of the franchise died in 2017 within two months of each other.
Waffle House is known, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency website, as one of the top four corporations for disaster response along with Wal-Mart, The Home Depot, and Lowe's. It is able to operate during disasters, such as hurricanes, without power thanks to generators and other emergency precautionary measures.
