K-Bob's steakhouse to reopen in October

The parent company for K-Bob's Steakhouse is planning to re-open its Mabry Drive location at the end of October, nearly three years after a fire gutted the building.

According to a release from Tinsley Hospitality Group, the renovation of the Clovis location is part of a plan to open six locations over 18 months, with a commitment to build an additional 30 locations over the next six years.

The chain first opened in Clovis in 1966, and later moved to its Mabry Street location.

"We are excited to come back to Clovis, as this is where the K-Bob's vision was born 46 years ago," Marketing Director Lori Krenc said in the release. "Our mission since 1966 has been to be an important part of each community, serving as a gathering place for meetings, family celebrations and a great meal."
