HOLLAND TWP. — Despite rumors the former Steak ‘n Shake location on North Park Drive has been re-listed for sale, McAlister’s Deli representatives have confirmed they're still coming to Holland this fall.

News of McAlister’s Deli broke in January, when the company confirmed they'd purchased the building at 2288 N. Park Drive.

According to property records, the building, which has sat empty for over four years now, was purchased Dec. 18 by Southern Restaurant Development for $1,275,000.
