Texas Roadhouse planning Opelika location

OPELIKA, Ala. (WSFA) - Texas Roadhouse has its eyes set on east Alabama.

The popular chain is in the permitting process of opening in Opelika, according to a company spokesperson.

The steakhouse will join QuikTrip in the Landings development at 3021 Gateway Drive, which is near the Tiger Town shopping center off Interstate 85 at exit 58. The chain is currently seeking to hire management for the new restaurant.
