(La Porte, IN) - A local fast-food restaurant is expected to reopen soon in a more modern facility.

A new building is nearly finished for Burger King on Indiana 2 on La Porte's far east side. The old Burger King structure was torn down and replaced with a new building at the exact location.

Dakota Euler, Assistant Manager for the Burger King, invited the La Porte City Council, Mayor Tom Dermody, and other officials to an upcoming grand opening and flag-raising ceremony at Monday night's city council meeting. 

Right now, Euler said the Burger King should open sometime in early December but no date has been chosen.

Euler said representatives from groups like the VFW and Toys for Tots are expected to be represented at the flag-raising during the grand opening.

The Burger King on Indiana 2 on La Porte's west side was torn down last year and replaced with a new facility at the same location.
