[upbeat music] Steak 'n Shake has been around since the 1930s.
Ryan KnutsonHOST
Its first location opened up in the town of Normal, Illinois.
Ryan KnutsonHOST
It was founded by an enterprising couple named Gus and Edith Belt.
Heather HaddonCORRESPONDENT
Him and his wife purchased some fuel stations, and one of them had a restaurant, which, you know, back in the day was serving chicken, beer, that kind of food.
Heather HaddonCORRESPONDENT
And then Normal made a push to go dry at this time.
Ryan KnutsonHOST
Hmm.
Heather HaddonCORRESPONDENT
And Gus Belt, who seemed like he was a smart entrepreneur, said, "I need a new concept."
