Famous Dave's Opens at 120 & L

The newest Famous Dave's restaurant is now open at 120h and L Street! Regular readers of the Drippings newspaper have noticed the "coming soon" banner on the Famous Dave's ad for the past couple of issues -- but the wait is now over!

"We're excited to bring the Famous Dave's concept to Millard," said Greg Cutchall, President and CEO of Cutchall Management Company. "There is a lot of new development in the area, and we feel like Famous Dave's will be a great fit. We're also thrilled to have a location that is so easily accessed from the interstate."

Cutchall Management Company currently owns six Famous Dave's restaurants in Omaha, and one in Wichita.
