A Grandy’s restaurant is coming back to Wichita Falls.

The new eatery will be located at 3409 McNiel near Kell Freeway. The site is the former location of Harvest Drug, which moved to a building on Kell about 12 years ago.

Construction crews were on the site Thursday making renovations to the 3,000-square-foot building. It was purchased by CD Richie LLC of Wichita Falls in September.

Construction crews worked to renovate the old pharmacy/gift shop near Kell Freeway on McNiel Avenue Thursday morning. It will become a Grandy’s Restaurant.

Grandy’s feature “homestyle” cooking and promotes its “comfort food” menu.

Grandy’s had a location on Kemp Boulevard for several years, but it closed and became a tobacco shop.

The company was founded by a couple of Dallas entrepreneurs in 1972 but has changed hands several times over the years. The name now has about 24 stores franchised across six states with most locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
