Grandy's restaurant closing doors after 25 years

CHAMPAIGN – Get your fill of country fried steak, mashed potatoes and green beans now, because Grandy's is going to be open for only 30 more days.

The Grandy's restaurant at 1905 N. Neil St., C, will close Dec. 30 to make way for a new Za's restaurant, said Peter Schmit, the local Grandy's franchisee who is also a licensee for Za's.
