The construction you might have noticed in Park Place East, located off Dr. F.E. Wright Drive between Taco Bell and Holiday Inn Express is a new Waffle House.

A timeline for opening has not been announced for the fourth Waffle House in Jackson.

Waffle House, 1724 South Highland Avenue remains, closed for a complete renovation.

The company built a new restaurant at 2314 N. Highland Ave., replacing the original restaurant that first opened in Jackson, Aug. 2, 1977.

Waffle House re-opened the restaurant in January.

In May, Waffle House re-opened at 24 Casey Jones Lane, after completing construction of a new 1724-square-foot facility which 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 its South Highland location opened Sept. 9, 1992.
