SANDY — Owners of the Crown Burgers restaurant in Sandy say it will remain closed temporarily after a fire broke out inside the building last week.
Fire crews in Sandy responded to the location at 9604 S. State last Thursday after a fire sparked in the attic above the restaurant’s kitchen and spread to the roof. The kitchen and lobby area sustained significant smoke damage, and two HVAC units were also damaged due to the incident, according to Sandy Fire Chief Ryan McConaghie.
Fortunately, no one was injured, but the owners are now facing costly repairs.
“The loss is structural and it will take some time to rebuild,” a statement on the restaurant’s Facebook page reads. “Crown Burgers will be closed for the foreseeable future. We will be back as quickly as possible to serve the Sandy Community.”…
