The wife and I drove by the Muscle Shoals location where they are building Publix and saw some workers there and ask about Steak & Shake rumors.  One fellow definitely denied that Steak & Shake was coming in and that the rumor was just that, a rumor.  He said that there was no way that Steak & Shake was going in there. 

Now I personally believe that there still is a chance but only if someone has invested a huge amount in a franchise location because I too believe that there is no way that Steak & Shake corporation would choose the Shoals area for a corporate location.  As for the worker's dogmatic statement that there was no way that a Steak & Shake would be coming there it's also very possible that he's been ask that question far too many times and he's just come up with a standard response to blow off those that continually ask him.

I still believe that there might be a partial chance that someone will take a gamble on a franchise and that the out parcel in the Northeast corner of the parking lot may be where one will be built.  I do know it's large enough to support a store of that nature so time will tell who is right I suppose.  I still keep going back to what the Decatur Steak & Shake said but he too indicated that he wouldn't know for sure until  they, corporate, ask him to establish some kind of training for new employees or a new location.

No it's not that special I'll agree but Steak & Shake does provide decent meals for reasonable prices and that is good for families as well as it is a 24 hour restaurant serving Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner as well as anything in between and there aren't that many places that do that other than Waffle House.

I just don't see a town this size supporting a Steak & Shake given the companies usual policy of locating one near or at an interstate, which we have none of those here.  Granted Cracker Barrel has the same philosophy about their store placement and they made an exception that seemed to have worked out for them so it is possible but I do not believe likely.   While their Hamburgers are alright the thing I usually end up getting at Steak & Shake that I like better than most places is the Chili and you can actually purchase that in cans or microwavable bowls at any of their stores.  I'd like to see one here but just remain skeptical that it's going to happen.  It's just one of those places that I believe would choose a larger market to located a new store in. 

For my part I'd a lot rather see a Firehouse Subs come to the area first.
