Max & Erma’s Opens South Dakota Restaurant

Columbus Business First:

A Max & Erma’s Restaurants Inc. franchisee has opened the chain’s first South Dakota eatery, marking the brand’s farthest venture west.

The Columbus-based chain said franchisee JT Restaurants LLC opened a new restaurant in Aberdeen, S.D., this week. JT said the location will create up to 50 jobs and likely will be the first of several to open in the state.

Expansion has been far from the norm lately for Max & Erma’s, which has shrunk from 79 company-owned restaurants to 66 amid Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization.
