The 50-year-old staple closed with little notice, but the storefront won't be empty for long. Real estate company Sokol & Associates announced on Facebook that John Watson and Michael Will are moving their Burger Royale company into the spot. It will be their first storefront, as Burger Royale began as a Columbus food truck before expanding into a stall at Budd Dairy in September 2024.

It left Budd Dairy Hall in early 2025 but still operates its food truck around the city. Burger Royale has big shoes to fill at 1758 N.
