Bosses at the American restaurant chain have confirmed their much-loved Wall Heath branch will reopen in July 2017.

Work has already begun to clear the site in Kidderminster Road, which was devastated in late August by an accidental blaze sparked by a fault in a refrigeration unit.

At the time there was concern amongst local residents that it might be cost prohibitive to rebuild, but after overwhelming public support and various surveys on the site, chiefs have agreed to re-launch the restaurant in the middle of next year.
