Local Big Boy restaurant closing; Culver’s to move in

Credible word on the street is that the Elias Brothers Big Boy restaurant on West Superior Street near the U.S.-131 expressway will close soon to make way for a Culver’s franchise restaurant. There was no information about whether the eatery and building were sold, but it is changing hands. It is widely believed that the death Aug. 2 of Manager Brian J. Smith hastened the development.

  • Hope it is just a rumor! Fast food is “eating” up eateries that allow you to sit down, look at a menu and have a waitress take your order when YOU are ready, not stand in a line! Hope it is only a rumor.

  • I love that big boy and Bryan was really a great guy. Sorry to have heard the news about him. I worked with him and Tom for many years and so did most of my family. Sentimental is how Ive grown to feel about big boy and while I love Culver’s, some things are better left the way they are.

  • Totally true, just took awhile. Now Big Boy is closed and I’m so excited about Culver’s!! Seems to be pretty credible, negative Nancy’s 😂
