## Story

The Big Biscuit® announced today that the Independence, Mo., and Blue Springs, Mo., restaurants will open for business this weekend. The Independence location will open at 6:30 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 12. The Blue Springs location will open at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 13.

- **When/Where:** Independence 6:30 a.m. Friday, Jan. 12, 16506 East US Highway 40, Independence, Mo. Blue Springs 6:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 13, 530 NW Hwy 7, Blue Springs, Mo.

The signature Big Biscuit menu will be served in both restaurants.

The Big Biscuit, headquartered in Prairie Village, Kansas, worked with the Gerson family to purchase the independently owned and operated restaurants after founder Dan Gerson passed away unexpectedly in September 2023. The Gerson family closed the restaurants in November. The Big Biscuit President Chad Offerdahl announced a purchase agreement had been reached earlier this month.

“We’re thrilled to reopen these restaurants and get back to serving the Independence and Blue Springs communities,” Offerdahl said. “The Big Biscuit is ready to welcome back the guests who have loyally supported our restaurants for over 20 years. Having the two original Big Biscuits restaurants open for breakfast and lunch is the best way for our team to start the new year.”

The Big Biscuit serves top-quality comfort food freshly prepared with a twist. Dishes are served in generous portions with genuine hometown hospitality in a welcoming, family-friendly, and inclusive atmosphere.
