Waffle House reopened Tuesday, at 24 Casey Jones Lane.

Except for the steel roof structure, the 1724-square-foot facility is completely new.

The new construction was necessitated because of the new configuration of the U.S. Highway 45 Bypass near Interstate 40.

The Casey Jones location opened Sept. 8, 1983, and a third location – 1724 S. Highland Ave., opened Sept. 9, 1992.

Waffle House has rebuilt two of its three Jackson restaurants.

Waffle House reopened January 25, after the company built a new restaurant at 2314 N. Highland Ave., replacing the original restaurant that first opened in Jackson, Aug. 2, 1977.

The South Highland location will undergo renovation, but not to the extent of the North Highland Avenue, and Casey Jones Lane restaurants.

Waffle House has not announced a time line, but it will build its fourth restaurant in Jackson off Dr. F.E. Wright Drive near the West Tennessee Healthcare Sportsplex.
