which is building a new restaurant on the site of the former Islands Burger on the north side of Peoria Avenue just west of Interstate 17.It will certainly be a welcome addition to the area, and hopefully the popular chain is in for the long haul. The location seems to be less than ideal; wouldn't the mall circle have been more advantageous all around? It's not like there are no vacancies ... Or would that have been overkill with the Culver's that replaced Whataburger about a year ago?
But In-N-Out has made its choice, so get ready by reading up on the chain's popular secret menu.
UPDATE: The Phoenix Journal's Lynn Ducey says the restaurant will open in late January or Februrary.
I only ate at Islands one time and it was a nice place. I didn't even know they had gone under. As a devoted In-N-Out fan, I've got to say this is a much better use of the space than just letting the building sit empty.
