Santa Monica Steak 'n Shake Closes On Third Street Amid Pandemic

SANTA MONICA, CA — Steak 'n Shake in Santa Monica closed its Third Street Promenade location and leasing signs are now at the location. It's one of several restaurants and businesses closing in Santa Monica in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Although the website still lists the restaurant as temporarily closed, the location at 1455 3rd Street Promenade is closed, with branding and food items all removed from the area this month.

The company is known for burgers, fries and milkshakes and opened its first LA location at Santa Monica's 3rd Street in 2014.

A report from Fitch Ratings in March reported that Steak 'n Shake and other restaurant chains are facing risk of default, including Checkers drive-in restaurants.
