Hey Rockford, Beef-a-Roo is back

ROCKFORD, IL — Beef-a-Roo is back. The restaurant chain officially reopened its first Rockford location Thursday with a 9:30 a.m. ribbon cutting at 6593 Lexus Drive, the first of eight restaurants its new owners plan to open by spring 2027. Owner and CEO Bob Grottke and Alex Edwards, president of 815 Beef-a-Roo, led the effort to revive the brand after its closure. Grottke said the project was driven by community involvement and the legacy of a brand that has been around a long time. “Today is the first of several locations that will open,” said Meredith MacKay, director of membership for the Greater Rockford Chamber of Commerce. “We are super, super excited for this day. I know we’ve all been waiting for it for a long time.” Grottke said the biggest obstacle was securing vendors and negotiating the purchase and use of the building and the licensing of the brand. He said relationships with vendors helped make the reopening possible. He said all eight locations should be open within the next several months. Grottke said the reopening will create about 700 jobs in total. He said the company has brought back many former employees, from general managers and district managers
