(KNZA)--An agreement has been signed that will bring a national chain restaurant to the Brown County community of Fairview.
According to a press release, A & W Restaurants has signed a multi-development deal with Sabetha father and son team, Bud and Stan Keim, that will also see restaurants built in Wellsville and a yet to be determined location.
The Fairview restaurant will be built at the Keim Travel Plaza, currently under construction at the junction of U.S. 36 and 75 Highways.
"I grew up here and know the community and what it needs," Bud Keim said in the press release. "I've spoken with many residents that are very excited to have an A&W here as it brings back nostalgic memories. This is a rural area, along with the 8,500 vehicles that travel past Hwy 36 and 75, and we knew it would be a perfect place for it."
There are currently ten A & W restaurants in Kansas.
The Keim's have been in the trucking business and lived in Sabetha their entire lives.
Construction began in March on the travel plaza, which is expected to open in 2023.
The Keim's have operated a truck wash at the location for 10 years.
