FESTUS, Mo. — Chris Jacobs said he hopes to open his new restaurant, Crispy Edges Eats and Shakes, in Festus next month.
He intended to open the restaurant last fall but encountered delays during the renovation of the building at 700 Collins Drive that previously housed the Champions Mercantile store.
